Are we there yet, are we there yet? These are familiar words to Moms of young children and even older ones! Trusting us to know the way, children just want to GET THERE!
Knowing how to GET THERE is basic to both traveling in cars and traveling through life. Coach has always had a great sense of direction and an almost uncanny ability to follow his nose to the destination. Having said this, being of the male gender stopping to ask for directions is not #1 on his list when his nose fails him. This comment came across my desk from another member of the male species who gives this account:
“Don’t worry. I know right where I’m going,” I said to my passengers. Then an almost-human voice ratted me out: “Rerouting . . . rerouting.” Now everyone knew I was lost!” Randy Kilgore
Even reassuring comments from a driver can now be squelched by the new “passenger” in our vehicle - the GPS! We may look like we know where we are going and act like it too, but the proof is when we GET THERE!
Teams can look good when they take the field or court of sports with their shiny new Nike’s, cool new uniforms and “bad” (meaning good!) haircuts! But we all know that it is arriving at the end of the competition with the greater score that matters…the ability to GET THERE!
Our driving directions for life are contained in God’s Word. He offers written directions for the intended route to heaven that tell us how to GET THERE!
