Daily Devotion for November 4, 2005

Life Is The Journey

 

Get up, go on your journey. Deuteronomy 10:6-11

 

Come with me back to the days of John Bunyan, and join the journey recounted in Pilgrim's Progress, and especially the journey of the one called CHRISTIAN.

 

Bunyan wants every one of us to identify with this primary character, Christian. His journey is to be our journey. As you watch Christian on his perilous pilgrimage, you actually see humanity,

 

you see yourself,
you see your life
and all that happens to you.

 

Life is the journey and our faith teaches us that the journey is crucial. The destination often seems far distant. The here and now and what we do with the day determines whether we ever reach the goal, in this case, the Celestial City.

 

Prayer:
God of work and play, of labor and of rest: bless us as we set out this day, we pray.
May our journey be in safety;
may we be a joy to people we meet;
may we be refreshed in the goodness of your creation;
may we be renewed in mind, body, and spirit;
through Jesus Christ, our Savior and our Guide. Amen.
