Moving…

Always moving…

Moving as fast as possible…

Where is our journey leading ?

If our destination is not always clear to us, it is clear to God…

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

If we don’t know where our journey leads, how will we find our way?

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.  Psalm 119:105

What if we need help on our journey?

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”   Matthew 11:28-30

Couldn’t we just take an easier route?

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.  Matthew 7:13-14

Some days it seems like a good idea just to give up…

But if we continue, who knows who we will meet along the way…

While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them… Luke 24:13-15

And so we walk on…

Always seeking hope for our journey …

Walking through the good days and the bad days, the easy days and the difficult days, the days when we triumph and the days when we stumble…

Walking not because of what we see today…

But because of our faith in what we will see tomorrow…

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.  Hebrews 11:1

Faith in Him who sends us on the journey…

Guides our every step…

And helps us overcome every obstacle…

…If God is for us, who can be against us?  Romans 8:31
