By John Stenen Scripture tells us that we are Pilgrims passing through this life that God has given to us. Think of all the hardships those early Pilgrims experienced as they first came to this country, and then later as they journeyed out west. Great storms, hunger, hostile Indians and bandits, sickness and often the death of friends and loved ones. I’m sure that when they reached their destination it must have felt like a little bit of heaven on earth; although they would still be facing many hardships in the days ahead.
We just experienced a winter storm this past Sunday, and Monday morning the sun was out shining so beautifully. My wife said, “Isn’t it wonderful to see the sun?” My thought was “Won’t it be wonderful indeed to see the Son!” We will also have many difficulties in the days ahead. It’s just a part of life. But one day, and it could be soon, no one knows, Jesus is coming for those who belong to Him. It will be a time as Psalm 16:11 says, “You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” I invite you to come to Jesus today and you will have a fantastic future and a wonderful life today, filled with His love and joy an peace. God bless.
