If you were going on a cross-country trip, which would you choose — airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? Each option represents a different kind of journey, but one principle remains the same: no wise traveler begins a journey without planning. Jesus taught this powerful truth in Luke 14:28 — “Which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost?” In the same way, destiny requires preparation, discipline, and spiritual wisdom. Before embarking on life’s great assignments — ministry, marriage, business, or calling — a wise believer pauses, counts the cost, and prepares to finish well.
