New Direction

Human beings are creatures of habit. We can get fixated and we can be immobilized by our fixation on things, events, ideas, or conditions. Being creatures of habit, we don't want to change. We want to keep going in our present direction so much, even if our present direction is headed over a cliff, we still want to keep on going regardless of the consequences. As creatures of habit, we want to keep on doing what we have been doing even if what we have been doing is destructive. There are times when our fixations, our immobilizations, and our heading over a cliff must stop. Our destructive behavior must stop. Each of us must learn to turn in a new direction in our life. For many reasons, we may have to turn in new directions at any age. As we move through the stages of our life at any age, we have a choice between turning in God's direction or Satan's direction. Every waking moment at any age, in any circumstance, we make this choice between Satan and God. Although we are not always aware we are making this kind of choice, our choice is still there. At every instant, in every stage of life, listen to God. Listen to God's voice in your heart. Listen to God's tender voice calling you to be His child. Listen to God's tender voice calling you to love others. Listen to God's tender voice calling you to forgive others. Listen to God's tender voice calling you to serve Him. God is calling you this minute to go in His direction. Won't you listen? Won't you follow?
