God has predestined a journey for each of us. The journey will not always be easy, but God did not promise us easy; He promised us that He would never leave us. There will be bumps in the road; there will be unforeseen (by us, NOT God) obstacles, hinderances, storms, and, yes, loss of material things, a job, or even more importantly a loved one. We will have to strive hard to make it past all these trials and tribulations, but the One Who predestined this road trip for us will see us through, if we let Him.
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(NIV)
Now let's look at the other side of life's difficult journey if we allow the Lord to rule, rest and abide in our lives. The Lord will take care, giving us a peace and a joy that no man can take away. He will be our everything here on earth and as it says in the most familiar passage and the basis of Christianity: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NIV)
At the end of life's travel, if we believe , we get to go home and be with the Father. Hallelujah!
What a promise; what a destination!
