Send us a text

How do you navigate life's complexities? In our latest episode, we dive deep into the theme of purposeful living, emphasizing the importance of having a clear spiritual destination. By comparing life's journey to following a roadmap, we highlight how many traverse their paths without a defined goal, leading to exhaustion and confusion. We illustrate this concept through biblical references, particularly Revelation 21, which paints a picture of the promised new Jerusalem, a place free of pain and sorrow.

As we explore the grand narrative from garden to city, we invite listeners to embrace life’s journey with intentionality, remembering that our ultimate destination is to be united with God, experiencing eternal joy. Listeners will gain insights on focusing their travels in faith and understanding the transformative power of intentional decision-making.

Join us as we encourage you to pray for guidance, remain anchored in faith, and experience heaven’s joys even now. Subscribe to our podcast for more spiritual insights and share your thoughts with us on your journey. What does purposeful living look like for you? We’d love to hear your perspective!

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.394
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.653
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:21.070 --> 00:00:27.725
Today is Day 58, heaven on earth.

00:00:27.725 --> 00:00:40.393
From Revelation 21-2, from the New Living Translation, I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from the heaven of God.

00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:48.481
Have you ever taken a drive in the country following the simple rule of left right, straight ahead?

00:00:48.481 --> 00:00:52.408
At the first intersection, you turn left.

00:00:52.408 --> 00:00:54.432
At the second, you turn right.

00:00:54.432 --> 00:00:56.161
At the third, you go straight.

00:00:56.161 --> 00:01:04.784
If you keep following this pattern, you'll discover new places and enjoy a leisurely afternoon meandering through the countryside.

00:01:05.844 --> 00:01:20.656
But while this is a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon, it also means you're traveling with no particular destination in mind, and for many people, this random approach isn't just limited to weekend drives.

00:01:20.656 --> 00:01:21.219
It's how they navigate life.

00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:27.129
They make choices based on whatever seems right in the moment, with no clear destination in mind.

00:01:27.129 --> 00:01:36.814
The moral principles guiding them constantly shift, and the confusion that follows often leads to spiritual and emotional exhaustion.

00:01:36.814 --> 00:01:45.414
In contrast, christian wayfarers know that the goal of life's journey is much more than just wandering.

00:01:45.414 --> 00:01:49.409
Our destination is nothing less than heaven on earth.

00:01:50.320 --> 00:02:02.748
The grand story of the Bible begins in a garden and ends in a magnificent city, where God and His people live in perfect fellowship, just as he intended from the beginning.

00:02:02.748 --> 00:02:07.590
In that place, there'll be no more death or mourning, or crying or pain.

00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:10.147
That's from Revelation 21.4.

00:02:10.147 --> 00:02:14.390
In Christ, all things will be made right forever.

00:02:14.390 --> 00:02:23.251
Wise travelers remember their final destination, stay in focus so they don't stray too far off the main road.

00:02:23.251 --> 00:02:33.250
And as we journey through life with Christ, it makes sense to keep our eyes on that ultimate goal, knowing that we're headed towards something glorious.

00:02:33.250 --> 00:02:39.145
Let's be intentional in our walk, always remembering where we're going.

00:02:39.145 --> 00:02:42.925
Pray with me, father, god.

00:02:42.925 --> 00:02:49.270
Thank you that even now we taste heaven's joys as we move toward the day when we'll live with you forever.

00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:56.748
Remind us that our destiny with you is sure, in Jesus' name, amen.

00:02:56.748 --> 00:03:04.110
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
