Sidetracked

For the past couple of weeks I've been a little sidetracked. My mind has been on a journey that is far from where I believe God wants me to be. Not that I've been obsessed with things that are unhealthy for me, but I've not been focused on bettering myself or helping others. Much like the train pictured above I think we go through life on a clear straight path and then something comes along that catches our attention and sends us off that path. We may still be headed north but we're distracted, confused, or just plain clueless. But unlike the train there is no yardmaster to switch the tracks for us. We have free will, and that free will is what gets us off line sometimes.

What would happen today if we stayed focused on God's desire for us? What would happen today if we recognized that we are getting off track before we waste a lot of time wandering around aimlessly? What would happen today if we asked God for direction each and every day? What would happen today if we followed His direction in every area of our lives?

What would happen today...?
