Hitch Your Wagon to the Right Star

Are you familiar with the saying, “Hitch your wagon to a star”? It’s an idiom that means “to commit to an aspirational goal or course of action that will lead to fulfillment.” [1]

One would think that people would choose to “hitch their wagon” to Creator God, who Romans 1:25 says is BLESSED FOREVER.

However, many people hitch themselves to other things and people. The Bible warns that there are serious consequences for rejecting Him who is Blessed Forever.

What are the consequences?

The Blessed Lord eventually gives people over to that which they have hitched themselves: over to impurity, dishonor, degrading passions, and depraved minds. (Romans 1:26-31)

Creator God is Blessed. We are to hitch our lives to Him.

Are we? Are we encouraging others to hitch their lives to Him? Are we explaining why it is important that they do?

Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus, who are BLESSED FOREVER, help us examine our lives and release anything to which we are hitched that is not of You and therefore not blessed by You. Use us as Your instruments to point people to You, who are Blessed Forever.
