The Power Of Going

Wednesday, September 1, 2021

If you were on a plane and you ask the person next to you, "Where are you going?" and they said, "Oh, I'm just on the plane so I can leave," it wouldn't make any sense. It's never primarily about leaving, but about going. The second book of the Bible is called Exodus. The name comes from the exit of the Hebrews from Egypt. But the Hebrews weren't just leaving - they were going somewhere - to the Promised Land. The best way to leave sin, the old ways, and the old life is to be going somewhere better - going to God. Set godly goals. Leave what is old by moving to the new, and what is ungodly by seeking that which is godly. The best way to get your thinking off of something wrong is to get your thinking on what's right. If you're focusing on what you have to leave then you're facing backwards. Focus on where you need to go: a life of righteousness, holiness, godliness, and purity focused on Him. Every child of God needs an exodus, but the only way you can make an exodus is by heading to the Promised Land.
