According to tradition, tent-dwelling Bedouins in the desert asked three things of any strangers they encountered: “Who are you? Where are you coming from? How far have you progressed on your journey?” Good questions, right? How about another here at the start of 2012: “How do you feel about the stage of your life that you’re currently at?”
We’re all travelers, and that doesn’t only apply at the beginning of the year with all our plans and resolutions. All of life is a journey, one with a starting point, a direction and a final destination. The art of a well-lived life is to know who is your Traveling Companion and other fellow travelers, on which route you find yourself, and where you’ll encounter the end of the road. By the way, if your most important Traveling Companion this year is not God Himself, then you’re going to get lost along the way. Then you aren’t really traveling… No, then you’re merely wandering around from day to day. Ask Jesus to be your permanent Traveling Companion. Then He’s also the Way and the real Destination like He says in John 14:6.
