The Journey

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Journey of Life.   Some refer to it as the dash.  As in the dash in the middle between those two all important dates listed on our tomb stone.  In God’s word we read that God has a purpose for our lives.  We are not here simply taking up space and polluting the world with carbon dioxide.  Paul, tells us in Philippians 1:6 that He (God) who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion.   That completion is when we stand before God as his child and hear the words "well done good and faithful servant”.  God is at work changing us to reflect His image.  So, we continue each day on the journey to Christ-likeness.  Over the next few weeks we are going to take a break from the book of Luke.  We are going to explore this journey that we find ourselves on.  Some are well along the way and some may have gotten stuck in traffic.  God is faithful and he will carry His work on to completion.  This week we will see God as he is-seated on a throne, high and lifted up. While he is holy, holy, holy he has called us to join him on his mission to reach the lost and serve the hurting.  Enjoy the journey.  It is a wild ride.
