Life's Journey

I’m going to reflect pastor Mark’s sermon today. He took a look at our journey in life and how it is a pilgrim progress. He stated that we “walk a straight line of a narrow beam.” Meaning that we all fall of a beam unless if we have excellent balance. Unfortunately it is hard to keep balance in life. Pastor mentioned that even if we try to stay on a beam that we often fall off through small temptations just by even waking up in the morning we can start our day off on the wrong foot without prayer and maybe even breakfast…we leave ourselves no time to reflect on what is important, we forget about the little things.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in
the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. Psalms 1:1

Walk, meaning that we notice the small things that are making us fall.
Stand, meaning that we start to think about it
Sit, meaning that we might get side tracked
It sounds like and easy walk, but it isn’t. Sin isn’t straightforward, it is the little things that aren’t so obvious to us that may throw us far from the journey we are suppose to be taking. We never go through life saying to ourselves, we are going to fail, we are not going to try, we are going to fall away…but changes are thrown at us, life is there and is unperfected and at constant change that is always unexpected. The main thing is that the Lord watches over the way of the righteous. Psalms 1:6. It is like repelling with someone at the end of the rope belaying you down for safety. They are there watching out while you slide down a wall, helping you not to fall. Just as God is always there for us and watching over us… we can always go to Him when we fall off, we need to ask for forgiveness and get back on the beam to balance once again. Isn’t it breathtaking that God forgives us over and over again no matter how many times we are broken because of a fall, molds us together and fixes are broken hearts…Our God is an AWESOME God!
I know that right now, my focus is being strayed that I want a fulfilling life and I want my life to having meaning, I need like so many others to find the right journey. I hope that everyone may find thier place on the road of their own journey.

May you life be bless through the love of God,
Kristy
