What Is Your Trajectory

What Is Your Trajectory

Trajectory (n): path followed by...an object moving under the action of given forces

What is our life but the following of a path under the action of given forces? We operate either on the broad path leading to destruction or the narrow path leading to life (Matt.7:13-15). We move under the action of the given force - whether that be God or satan. God has given us all good things and "in Him we live, move, and have our being".

The path is completely our choice, and even refusing to choose (by apathy or laziness) we've already made our choice of the broad path to destruction. No one chooses to walk the narrow path by accident. Each step is intentional, each action chosen carefully, each moment weighed on the scales of God. Our trajectory has us headed, intentionally, to heaven; all other paths head straight to hell.

What about you? Are you take each step purposely to heaven? Are you stepping carefully and confidently into the footprints of our Savior along the narrow way home? 

Or are you, whether it be by sins of omission or sins of commission, headed down the road to destruction? There are plenty of people in this life headed straight to hell with a big smile on their face...but they won't smile at the judgment as they kneel before God and He tells them to depart. What about you, friend?

What's the proof for your steps to heaven? Just believing you're going isn't enough, what are you actively doing now to do what God's given us? Are you working the works of God, or man?

Carefully consider the following:
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
2 Thessalonians 1:6-10
Matthew 7:13-27
Hebrews 10:26-31
James 4:1-17
James 1:19-27
Acts 2:37-42
Ephesians 4:1-6

Where do your footsteps lead? What's your trajectory? 

Make it be an eternal home in heaven.

Veterans' Day

Veterans' Day It is on this day that we remember, as a nation, our veterans who have honorably served this country. I thank each and every one for their service to our country, the price they have paid, and the scars they bear daily, both external and internal. I thank and each of you, not just on this day, but for each day I live in a free nation that you have helped keep safe; I recognize that, as a result of your service, many of you live and remember daily their time spent in service to this country. The memories don't go away; many of you have seen combat; you've seen the enemy eye to eye, or scope to scope, or put your training up against his/her; I recognize that those sights, sounds, and smells don't go away. If you came in contact with the enemy, those brushes with death, the fear and the adrenaline, the blood, the possible tears from rage or from the adrenaline of coming so close to death; the flood of all kinds of emotion; the acting on instinct and allowing

Through God We Will Do Valiantly

Through God We Will Do Valiantly " Give us help from trouble,  For the help of man  is  useless.  Through God we will do valiantly,  For  it is  He  who  shall tread down our enemies. " Psalm 60:11-12 NKJV Do you know what it is to be delivered by God? If you're a Christian, that answer is "Yes!" and you know the beauty of being delivered out of the hand of your adversary. You have your own battles and I have mine. Some may have battled addictions, others a lifestyle, while others deal with various other sins which gets its claws into you and refuses to let go. Perhaps you're currently enslaved to a sin and think there's no way out. There is only one sure way out of our sin, and that is with the Lord. Make no mistake, our adversary is strong, he is a mighty foe, yet our Lord is stronger and mightier than all. With the Lord is deliverance, hope, strength, trust, joy, and life. With our adversary is certain death, destruction, sorrow, fear, lies, an

Efficient

Efficient. I like this word; better yet, I like for things to work in this manner. Here's what it means: "performing or functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort; having and using requisite knowledge, skill, and industry; competent; capable" There is no sense, in my mind, in doing something inefficiently. Why waste time doing something another way? When there is a prescribed way to do something, there's often a very good reason as to why, and to act outside the bounds of that way is illogical. While this word, efficient, is one you'll be hard-pressed to find in scripture, the concept is all throughout God's word. The best way to be efficient is to obey God. To act outside the bounds of God's word is inefficient. That's it. So much, in my mind, is black and white; it either is or it is not; it either is "yes" or it is "no" and I don't believe much else in life is an exception to that rul
