Journeying onward

God is our provider
Our care giver
All we receive is from Him

It is easy to get caught up
in
To partake
of
All that those
on the other side
(those without Jesus)
have or do

Yes, it is easy.
But not right
Not ethical
or moral
Not God's preferred way.

When we rely
totally on the Lord Jesus
When we obey
His commands for our lives
When we are one with Him
the outside world falls away

When our minds
dwell
on His word alone
We never go
We never stray
or rarely do we
We come back,
return to the fold
faster and faster.

But all struggle
Believers in Christ
struggle
It's just that we know.
We have Jesus in our hearts.
We know.

Learning and growing
It doesn't matter our age
Maturity in years
doesn't necessarily mean
we have it figured out.

We have a longer time
to get it figured out
But that doesn't mean we do.

As believers in Christ
It is when we
have gone home
our eternal home in heaven
to be with our beloved Jesus
that we truly
have it figured out.

Until then,
we journey onward.
Striving to do the Lord's bidding
Striving to be more like Him.
