MY FRIENDS DO WE MOVE THROUGH LIFE WITH NO SPECIFIC DESTINATION?
My friends Forty years, “the Israelites roamed the wilderness, with no specific destination in sight. An entire generation was sentenced to an inactive and slothful wandering in the wilderness. It has been estimated that an average of almost 90 people a day died during those years. Then only Moses, Joshua and Caleb remained to represent the generation that left Egypt.”
Many of us experience this same dilemma, wandering in the wilderness of time wasted, as the years flies by. We must realize as Christians our stay on this earth is only for a little while. Time is precious, and how we spend and use it for God’s glory and honor, is of vital importance to our spending eternity with Christ.
God in His wise foresight and anticipation teaches us how we should be discerning and perceptive about the proper use of our time. The time never should come in a Christian’s life here on earth, If asked to mention the period of our life when the presence and love of our Savior was the greatest, that without any reservation or thought required for an answer, we will say, Right at this present moment.
For each moment of our life Gods love must consume us and grow more and more just in the fact of knowing all that He 
does and continues to do for our salvation. Fiends “the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is [His] faithfulness.[towards His Children] “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.” Lam. 3:22-25 (ESV)
And as future citizens of Gods pure and holy society, we will never realize the importance of that promise and what it means until we can see His glory face to face and witness all that He has prepared for us in His kingdom. By allowing the god of this world to consume our precious time that should be spent focusing on our love for Christ as we study His word and seek His presence, only allows us to lose sight of our journey here on earth, as the forces of evil begins to influence our lives, and not God’s relationships with us.
As Fenelon tells us, “Time is given to us to prepare for eternity.” And as Gods Children who seeks an ETERNAL DESTINATION we may also reverse that statement and say eternity is given to prepare us for time. But if we fail to live out our time wisely here on earth then, our character becomes what we consume from day to day.
In addition, if what we consume is not Christ centered then like the Israelites we will roam the wilderness of life with no specific DESTINATION in sight, and God can only say at his appearing “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Matt. 7:23 (NIV)
So my friends, today decide that every precious moment you have left on this earth will be spent searching to capture the mind and character of Christ. Remember “The Lord is patient towards His Children, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” And receive life eternal.
But the day of the Lord will come soon like a thief, and our works, and time, that are done on this earth will be exposed. 
So my friends let’s decide today, to give it all to the Master. Of course the first step is to open the word of God as you stay focused on His promises, and continue to tell yourself “This world is not my home, I’m just passing through my treasures are not here but laid up somewhere way beyond the blue.
I can fill the presence of God’s Spirit each day as the celestial Angels beckons me from heaven’s open door. And that is why I can never feel at home on this earth anymore. Oh, Lord, I know there is no friend like you, so please continue to lead, guide and show me, to live throughout eternity with you, [So each moment of my life please show me with your LOVE, GRACE, AND MERCY] what must I do?” as I seek my final ETERNAL DESTINATION.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
