Don’t Unpack—Yet!

                                            Don’t Unpack—Yet!

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: II Timothy 4:7.

• Rest stops…

• Overnight lodging…

• Are We There Yet?

          Whenever you arrive at your destination, it’s routine to unpack your suitcase and settle in. But when you arrived on earth, your journey just started. So, Don’t Unpack—Yet!

           Since the Bible says we are not of this world, John 17:14, and that we are strangers here, Psalm 119:19; why can’t we just keep going until we reach our final destination? Why Stop Here?

   We stopped here because there’s some mechanical work that must be done in order for us to make this a successful trip. For instance, all the appropriate wires must be properly connected to the Engine. He is the vine and we are the branches, John 15:5. We must have fresh oil to offset combustion. He anointed our head with oil, Psalms 23:5. 

    Headlights must be in good working order to light the way. In John 8:12 it says, that He is the light of the world. Spark plug wires must be ready to transport high-voltage. God will give His angels charge over us, Psalm 91:11. High Powered fuel must be in tank. The word of God is quick and powerful, Hebrews 4:12, and the brakes must be ready to stop and be still. Be still, and know that I am God, Psalm 46:10.

Since this journey is unfamiliar to us, there will be patches of unexpected rough roads: Roadblocks, Detours, and Dead End Streets. The devil will tell us he knows a way around all that. He will tell us everybody goes his way, and that we will get to our destination much sooner following his shortcuts.  As a matter of fact, he will tell us that we have already arrived at our destination. He wants us to believe that this is the end of our journey; therefore, we should live our life in the fast lane.He’s Lying!!!!  Don’t Unpack—Yet! He wants to get us alone on some dark road off the Main Highway so he can KILL us.   

When you run into Roadblocks, Detours, and Dead End Streets, don’t worry. Roadside Assistance is Available 24/7. God said He will never fail us nor forsake us, Joshua 1:5.  Just get the assistance you need, and be on your way.

                                 Remember: Don’t Unpack—Yet!
