The Journey
January 18, 2010
by John ImlerJohn is an RVchurchesUSA Ambassor and author of It’s Never Too Late We are each on a journey that started at our birth. This journey will continue over an indefinite period that we call our “lifetime.” At some point unknown to any of us, it will come to an end.
Journey is defined as “travel from one place to another; a trip.” When our lives end, we will have traveled from one place to another, from one world to another.
Before we take a trip we carefully plan for months or even years. Only the most adventurous set out without a definite destination in mind. We may even change our plans one or more times, but we will know our starting point and usually our destination.
Before we are born, others planned for us. Our first years are planned and directed by our parents and are pretty much shaped by the travel map they are using. They usually plan our journey through school, college, a story book marriage, and into a successful career.
But somewhere along your own journey we discover that the planning for the balance of our lives has been turned over to us. We soon realize that the time for the end of our journey has been pre-determined (Ecc 3:1-2. Heb. 9:27).
Each person’s journey will be different. During my journey I have observed those of others that have been much shorter than mine. I reveal several of these in my book, It’s Never Too Late (available at www.faithrescued.com).
At this moment, you are on your journey. The decision as to where you are going may be up in the air. As far as I have been able to determine, there aren’t a lot of options available. While some seem to think that if they believe the end in nothing more than a long sleep that will make it true. If that were true, then all of our lives would be meaningless and of no more value than the life span of the mosquito (1 Cor.15:32).
God has provided a Guidebook or Map to help each of us determine where you are going after this journey ends. The story of our Creator’s efforts to preserve this Book for us is truly amazing.
