Today's Walk With The Lord - Racing to What End

Good Morning,
 
Over the last four or five years I have felt the need to make up for lost time. This need has been met with going back to college, twice, and with a focus on learning. I read, I listen, I interact and more recently, I pray.
 
This morning as I prayed to the Lord I asked him show me the finish line.
 
I feel like I am charging hard in a race car, moving faster and faster, and with each book read, cd listened to, seminar attended, that my car is stronger, faster and more reliable. The one question I have though, is where am I racing to?
 
What is the end, the finish line the Lord wants me to cross.
 
I know that is presumptuous of me to expect that the Lord will show me where the finish line is, because so long as I live, there will be another challenge, another test, another goal to fulfill.
 
As my faith in Him improves, I know my purpose is to bring glory to Him, to praise Him in all of my actions and endeavors.
 
My focus has been in helping others, through sharing wisdom over the web and via email. I also mentor others when I have the opportunity, when the world does not get so much in the way.
 
For the last year I have felt the calling to some sort of ministry and to share my testimony of the different places I have been in life, so I see a goal ahead. The Lord wants to use me to bring others into His family.
 
Now I have have to obey.
 
As I learn and grow daily, teach and empower others, I must also Do.
 
That is the finish line of this current race I am in.
 
When I get there, I know another race will begin, but I will leave that to another time.
 
Marching orders received.
 
Thank you Lord!
 
Enjoy!
