“Resistance is Futile”

“Sometimes you can meet your destiny on the road you took to avoid it.” 

This is a quote from someone that I can’t remember the moment, but I cannot take credit for it.  What I can take credit for is knowing that this statement is absolutely true.  A straight line is the most direct path from point A to B, but we can also get there by other paths that are often times more difficult and take a little longer, but lead us to the same place.

How often do we find ourselves turning right because we don’t want to go left only to find out that left is where our “right” path took us?  There are some things that God charges us with that we just cannot get away from.  He called us to complete certain tasks that He equipped us with the talents and gifts to do.  The sooner we get in agreement with Him about those things, the sooner we can step into our destiny and fulfill all of the potential He planted inside of us.

One of the challenges of life is enjoying the journey on your way to the various points in your life’s road.  If you avoid what’s coming, you’re just delaying the inevitable.  Stop resisting.  Go with the flow.  Meet your destiny and embrace the road that will take you there.  “Resistance is futile” (The Borg, Star Trek: The Next Generation).
