The Joy Is In The Journey!

The Christian walk is not meant to be a sprint. It is a marathon! Don't worry about if you think you are behind. This race is meant to be endured for a lifetime. Along the way, you will sometimes come into some tough times. It’s okay! God may have given you such a tough time as an assignment, because He knew He could trust you with the assignment. Always remember, in Christ, things happen for a reason. Often, some Saints may think that certain demanding and strenuous times may seem very personal, private and even unjust. Is that not the way Job felt? But we see – God was looking for a Champion. We have learned that trials and tribulations are real! But so is our God! Just remember, keep your vision that God gave you for your life, in front of you and very close to you. Your best days are still ahead of you. Satan will try to pull and extract you away from the purpose God has laid out for you. The life that was meant for you to explore has already been planned and arranged. But so often, that devil will try to extract your focus and concentration and we end up thinking more about ourselves rather than being a blessing to others. It’s a very old trick! The very motivation our God-given passion once directed and guided us to do what God gave us to do had been suddenly and unexpectedly shifted. It seem like we became very busy going nowhere in a hurry. Life was no longer a joy. We found ourselves really just existing. Go with God and stay in agreement with Him. Discover and learn the joy is in the journey. When your spirit discern you are getting close to the purpose God set for you, your soul will be at peace and free from anxiety. You will find that you are indeed “fearfully and wonderfully made” to accomplish what God had planned for you all alone.
