![]() ![]() If I got the kids a drink, then we would have to stop more down the road to use the bathroom. There was a method to my madness, you see. If the kids needed to use the bathroom, I told them to wait. Sometimes I would race myself based on the last year's time clock in order to see if I could beat my previous time. In fact, when the kids were younger and we loaded them all into the car to drive from Dallas to Baltimore to visit my parents each summer, I barely even stopped. I don't know about you, but I like to get to where I am going without any detours. Some roadblock that requires us to make a U-turn or go down a path we did not expect. Regardless if we are following our own mental map or the voice in our phone, sometimes we run into a detour (something we did not expect). We plan to go somewhere.Īnd we typically know how we plan to get there - which highway we are going to take, which turn to avoid rush-hour traffic, and which side streets we are going to use to arrive at our final destination.Īnd even if we don't know the way, we can type the destination address into our smartphone app, and rely on an automated voice to guide us through every turn. When we get in our cars, we do so with a destination in mind. Detours pop up in places we had not expected. ![]() They are rerouted paths that keep us from our original route.

Using examples from the life of Joseph, Tony will leave readers with answers to the following questions: How do you find the destiny God has designed for your life?

What is the purpose of a detour?ĭetours The Unpredictable Path To Your Destiny By Tony Evans B&H Publishing Group Copyright © 2017 Tony Evans All rights reserved. Yet what we often do is try as hard as we can to work our own way to the circumstances we believe are best for us. To deliver you to the place He has created just for you. Tony knows a thing or two about detours, and one of the things he knows for certain is that God works through detours to bring about His blessing. Detours are a good thing that often feels bad. Detours are designed for our own good, regardless of how we view or feel about them. Or if any wreck is going to be cleaned up or a hazard avoided. But detours are necessary if any improvements are going to be made on the paths we travel. More often than not, it's a detour, one that can leave you feeling temporarily stalled and slowed down. ![]()
