Pilgrim Journey


“Blessed are those whose strength is in You, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.  As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.  They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. …O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.”  Psalm 84: 5-7, 12

Sometimes life is messy and painful.  I don’t know of any other way to keep on except to keep listening, to keep being willing to do the best we know as we listen, to be courageous to do hard things even if they are uncomfortable or we don’t know yet the “why” of them, to be willing to keep learning more and to know that likely tomorrow we will see more clearly than we do today.  But keeping on is key.  We are pilgrims.  Don’t expect to be without the uncertainties as you walk.  But keep in step as He leads and He will cause it to work for good.  We have that promise.
