Do you enjoy an adventure? Me, too!

Adventures are more spontaneous than your average “trip” or “journey”. On an adventure, we are never quite prepared for what lies ahead. That, of course, is why adventures can be so rewarding. We don’t know what lessons will be taught along the way; the element of surprise captures our attention. As it is not a planned “trip”, we are more open to whatever changes may come across our path.

Whereas a “journey” or “trip” implies that we have set a definite course or agenda, we have taken time to chart a course. When we are taken off course we tend to get distressed because we may not get to the next point on our course as predicted. We aren’t as open to changing our course or agenda.

Do you think there is a connection, here, between what we think our path should be as opposed to what God would want our path to be?

Mm…if we travel God’s path for us, isn’t it more like an adventure? We may not know where He is taking us, but, we can believe it will be a life changing experience.

When we persist in charting our own course or agenda, we struggle to keep from overturning the boat!

“Your ears will hear sweet words behind you: “Go this way. There is your path; this is how you should go” whenever you must decide whether to turn to the right or the left.” Isaiah 30:21 The Voice Bible

Far be it from me to take the spontaneity out of an adventure, I am an adventurous person. But, on this particular adventure we need a few items to be equipped for what lies ahead.
