Keep Moving Forward

We are all pilgrims on a journey to that Heavenly City, the road often being unpredictable.

Psalm 121:1-2  I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

We all are doing the best we can to make it through life to reach an eternal reward.  Some days we score high, other days, well, not so much. But the important thing is: We keep trying.  We don't give up.

When the mountain ahead of us appears an impossibility to climb, we still can go forward with positive approach, for our strength is not gained entirely by endurance, but by the strength that only God can provide.  He who made the world and everything in it is very careful in the care of it. 

Never fear!  God is right by your side.  He is your Guide and He never sleeps. He will never leave you to face the journey alone.  He is a shield and buckler to all those who trust in Him.  He guards you now, He guards you always.

Look up!  Reach up!  and always Pray up! :-) For one day we shall reach that beautiful gate and we desire to be ushered in forevermore. 

I am just a weary pilgrim
Traveling through this world of sin;
Getting ready for that City,
When the saints go marching in.

My father loved the Savior,
What a soldier he had been!
But his steps will be more steady,
When the saints go marching in.

Up there I'll see my Savior,
Who redeemed my soul from sin,
With extended hands He'll greet me,
When the saints go marching in.

We are travelling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before,
And we'll all be reunited,
On a new and sunlit shore.

Some say this world of trouble,
Is the only one we need,
But I'm waiting for that morning,
When the new world is revealed.

-lyrics by: Luther G Presley (written 1937)

.Lord, I do want to be in that number when the saints go marching in!
