We Are All
Passing Through A Country
That Is Not Our Home
“We are here for only a moment,
Visitors and strangers in the land as
Our ancestors were before us.Our days on earth
Are like a passing shadow,
Gone so soon without a trace.”
1 Chronicles 29:15
John Bunyan’s classic 1678 novel
“Pilgrim’s Progress” is an allegory
of our lifelong journey from birth to death and
the challenges we encounter as
'sojourners upon the earth' along the way.
As today’s scripture passage from the Book of Chronicles reminds us,
this journey along the road called 'Life' may seem often like
it will never end but the reality is- as this verse accurately states -
we are all indeed “… like a passing shadow,
gone so soon without a trace” and who,
what and where we were will be no more.
Friend, our steps and our time on this planet is Extremely SHORT,
but Eternity Is LONG —
and too long to be wrong about what comes next.
Our mortal life is indeed like a shadow that comes then is no more
and it is wrought with all kinds of traps that can
get us caught up in the miry mud of sin. Therefore in order to finish well
we are encouraged therefore to
“Lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and let us RUN with patience the race that is set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1)
One day your steps will run out and end at a destination.
Where are you steps taking you today?
God Bless Your Day
