Journey

Life is a journey. Everyone understands that. But how does it look when you journey with God?

Don't take any money in your money belts - no gold, silver, or even copper coins. Don't carry a traveller's bag with a change of clothes, or even a walking stick. Don't hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed. Matt 10:9,10

What do you trust? Who is trustworthy? Often we trust and are let down. There's a reason for that. There's only One you can trust. Cling to Him. Despite your circumstances, hold on.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5,6
