Pilgramage

God has set a theme in my heart right now, and that theme is pilgrimage. God is showing me that He has redeemed my life from an aimless existance and given me a new direction, destination, and compass to help get me there. God is revealing what a dry and thirsty land this world really is, and I want heaven and eternity with God to become more and more glorious to me. I want my treasure to be in heaven. I want to sit in a rocking chair on the front porch of my mansion. The pilgrim's journey is by no means easy. I am always wandering off the path and being dragged back by the grace of God. The way really is narrow, and I want to be one of the ones who finds it. So as I strap on my spiritual backpack and pick up my walking stick, I encourage you to discover the great adventure that God has for you. We don't plan the adventure, all we have to do is follow the leader: Jesus. Be ready because the one leading us has no where to lay his head, and he wants you to die so that you can find true life. Here's some encouragement for the pilgrim: "Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage......They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion. Psalms 84:5" The journey makes us stronger and the destination is well worth it.
