Lets break down some of these words just to see what 'Journey to becoming a Man of God' entails.
These will be taken from the Merriam-Webster dictionary, and there may be multiple forms of speech or definitions, but I will use the ones that I feel represent this ideal the best.
Journey- Something suggesting travel or passage from one place to another. (The journey from youth to maturity.)
Becoming- To be suitable or fitting.
Man- An individual human. (one person)
God- capitalized: The supreme or ultimate reality; such as: the Being perfect in power, wisdom and goodness who is worshiped as creator and ruler of the universe.
Putting these words together we get:
Going from where you are right now to being a person who is closer to and willing to obey the God who is perfect in power, wisdom and goodness.
As we take steps on this journey to draw nearer to Him, He will draw nearer to us. His word says so and He does not lie. Being closer to God is what I want to do. It is who I want to be. I want my life and the lives of my children to be led and protected by Him who is the author and perfecter of our faith. There is no quick fix, it is a race. Not a dash, this journey is a marathon that takes a lifetime to complete.
