How fast are you going?

Where are you traveling this year? Maybe you have trip or two planned, or perhaps you are committed to just staying home. No matter your plans, you are going to do some traveling, a lot of traveling. In fact, you are on the move as you read this. Not so sure? Consider this: right now the earth is spinning on its axis, with you on it, at a speed of about 800 miles per hour. It doesn't feel like you are moving because everything around you, above you and under you is moving at the same speed and direction as you. If that is not enough movement, consider this: the earth travels around the sun at a speed of about 67,000 miles per hour! You are going somewhere; you have no choice.

Spiritually it is the same, you are always moving. You are either making progress in your walk with God or you are digressing. Even Jesus is described as making progress; “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men"(Luke 2:52). If He needed to make progress, we certainly do.

Today we are going to discover some ways that you can insure your spiritual progress in 2009 as we go One on One with Jesus. As you travel through this New Year, will you join me in being committed to going in the right direction?
