It's about the Journey

I always marvel when I think about the way God does things. Why did He allow history to unfold for 4,000 years before He sent the Messiah? Why is history still unfolding 2,000 years after the Messiah? Why is there such a long process for everything? Why did Jesus come as a baby, grow up to be a man, & live on the earth 33 years? Why did He wait until age 30 to begin ministry?

It always boggles my mind how much God loves the process. Especially as Americans, we are always looking for the destination, the goal, the achievement, the success, etc. However, God loves the process. Life is not only about the destination; it's about the journey.

Many times we end up frustrated when we think we've arrived at some end goal & realize that it's not all it's cracked up to be. We need to realize, however, that life is about walking with God every step of the way no matter the circumstances. It is only then that we begin to see the journey of life as just a little speed bump in the long road of eternity that is designed to keep us connected to the Master of the Process.
