You Can't Get There From Here!

This is a popular phrase out here in New Mexico. "You can't get there from here!" The people are saying something to the effect that you would have to drive around the mountain, or take a different way or maybe an arroyo is flooding out the road.
Hebrews 11:8 says about Abraham, "By FAITH Abraham, when he was called to out into a place which he should afterward receive for an inheritance, OBEYED; and he went out, not knowing where he was going!"
Abraham didn't have the resouces that we have today. He didn't have computers that had all the up to the minute technology that could take him places he never even heard of before. Abraham didn't have Google Earth to help search out far away lands nor did he have MapQuest. All Abraham had was FAITH.
Last week at our Bible Study, we discussed the word FAITH. It was a lively discussion and I sensed the HOLY SPIRIT was using it in the lives of people. We all left the study with a better understanding of what the God Kind of FAITH really is. The big question was: "Is FAITH a gift from GOD?" Study that out and let me know your thoughts. Start with Ephesians 2:8-9.
Last night we again had a very lively discussion on the word HUMILITY. Once again, God the HOLY SPIRIT taught all of us what true HUMILITY is. O that we all become more CHRIST-LIKE.
"You can't get there from here" is a cute catch phrase that I hope caught your eye. As Christians we all should be able to say that We CAN get there from here. I encourage you all to study God's Word...HE gave it to us so it would become our road map, our MapQuest to become Christ-like. With God directing us, WE CAN GET THERE FROM HERE.
