Journey

A JOURNEY  They are always beginning and ending.  This time marks the end of a journey on campus.  For most students the end of one semester.  For some it’s the end of a degree program.  For me it’s the end of my first Fall and Spring semester of campus ministry.  This thought occurs to me as I think about journeys.  When one ends another begins.  There is summer for instance.  It’s a unique time filled with activity of a different sort and when it ends a new semester will begin... with new faces and life adventure.

For those who have secured their lives in Christ, there is an unending Journey.  This life that’s become eternal will never end.  Interestingly, it also transforms everything. These smaller journeys described above are now more significant.  They are now a part of something that lasts forever.  As we navigate our days and adventures a vital understanding is needed.  As partakers in an eternal journey we must focus our trust in God.  Earthly wisdom and knowledge will taunt us moment by moment as we strive to put away our own agendas, plans and the course for our life we see with human eyes.  

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. ”

Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

Let’s place our hope in Him today!  Lean on Him.  Seek His way out.
