Pilgrimage

VERSE:                                         Psalm 84:5
 
    Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
 
REFLECTION:
 
    A pilgrimage is a long journey.  A long journey is what we are on as christians.  It is a pilgrimage in a strange land.  We have been given a mission here on earth and that mission is not impossible.  The only way that the mission can be a success is to put our strength in God.  That is also the only way that we will be able to survive the pilgrimage.  We must be bound and determined to be successful in carrying out God's plan for our life.  This pilgrimage will not be a success if we do not let God do the work.
 

    How often have you had a problem in your life and not prayed about it?  That is like getting lost on your pilgrimage and not stopping to ask directions.  (I know all you guys out there never ever get lost.)If we don't talk to God and ask Him what we need to do or consult Him on our life we will become lost and we may never make our heavenly destination.  This verse says if we put our strength in God we will be blessed. God will help our time in this strange land be a little better, if we can just lean on Him during this long and arduous pilgrimage we call life.
 
PRAYER:

    Pray for strength from Jesus.  Pray for guidance and directions in God's will for your life.
