Joy for the journey




There are days and then there are D A Y S.....It's all part of the journey. Sometimes I lose sight of the Joy and I have to go back and remember what the journey is about and who it is about. I was reminded again that this is not my home, this journey is taking me to my ultimate home, Heaven. I've been reading a book entitled Heaven by Randy Alcorn. It's very good, the book challenges me and makes me dig deep into the word to find out what heaven and eternity is all about.



When life seems overwhelming or I feel like God isn't hearing me, all I have to do is go to the word and find out the truth! Psalm 139:7-10 tellit it like it really is; "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."



I am so encouraged by these words, the answer to the question is NOWHERE!! I can't get away from His Spirit and I don't want to. I need His presence 24/7. My hope is in the Lord and my Joy is in His presence.



Blessings
