The Road of Life

 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." ---John 14: 3
********************

While walking through this life, the road before us may be uncertain.  Although we may not know what is up ahead, we do know who is leading the way, and that the way of the cross leads home.  Jesus has already gone before us to prepare a place for us that where He is, we may be also.

Everything we do on earth in service for God is preparing us for our final destination.  We are on the way home!  There are many storms of life which will come our way but we must keep pressing forward.  There may be lonesome valleys along the way home, but the God of the mountain is still the God of every valley.  Jesus has given us victory, and we must hold on by faith.  Although we may be weak, our Lord is strong.  He will keep us in Him, as we walk close to His side.

We must keep on walking in the straight and narrow path of the Lord.  The broad way looks appealing to many people, and sidetracks them on their walk with God.  There will be stumbling blocks as we journey through this life, but it is how we deal with them which matters.  If we trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding, stumbling blocks will be turned into stepping stones for God's glory. With Jesus leading us, what do we have to dread or fear?  Just ahead are the lights of home and the promise of our eternal inheritance.

At the end of our journey, we will be welcomed into that heavenly city.  The new Jerusalem of God shall one day descend from heaven, with splendor and glory.  And so shall we ever be with the Lord.  We have much to look forward to and anticipate, all the days of our life.  If we hold on until the end and walk by faith, we shall receive a crown of life.

Keep walking with the Lord all along the road of life and know the best is yet to come for a child of God.  How wonderful it is to know we shall one day walk on streets of gold and behold gates of pearl, where life shall never end.  Every promise is ours to claim, as we go forward in Jesus name.  We know not what tomorrow may hold, but we do know who holds tomorrow.  We give thanks to the one who leads us with His nail scarred hand.  May we seek a closer walk with our Lord each day, as we trust fully in Him.


Blessings In Christ,
