How Did I get Here?

I live about an hour away from my hometown with most of the drive being on the interstate. More than once, I’ve gotten lost in thought on my way home. Sometimes I get really into whatever music I’m listening to, and sometimes I end up thinking about life, God, and the future. All of a sudden, I’ve arrived at my exit, and I have no idea how I got there. The idea of driving on autopilot is pretty scary when you think about what you may have missed when you weren’t fully paying attention.

I think that sometimes our walk with Christ can be like that. We’re so used to doing the “right” thing that it becomes second nature. The danger in this is that if we’re not careful, we can miss some of the important aspects of our journey.

I don’t want to get caught on autopilot in my walk with Christ. I want to take the time to reflect on what He’s doing in my life and the lives of those around me. Every step of the journey has something to teach us, and I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to miss a single thing.
