LORD, Help Us To Pursue The True Pilgrimage Of A Pious Life!

Though we do not know where 
the road winds--we know where it ends! 
(Charles Spurgeon)

Life is ever changing. Who can tell 
what may come next? Today it is fair--
the next day there may be the thundering 
storm. Today I may need nothing--
I may be like Jacob, with nothing 
but a stone for my pillow and 
the heavens for my curtains.

But what a happy thought it is: 
though we do not know 
where the road winds--
we know where it ends!
We may have to go through 
trial and affliction; the pilgrimage 
may be a tiresome one--
but it is safe. We cannot trace 
the river upon which we are sailing--
but we know it ends in floods of bliss! 

We cannot track the roads--
but we know that they all meet 
in the great metropolis of Heaven! 

GOD help us to pursue the true 
pilgrimage of a pious life! 

"HE led them forth by the right way--

that they might go to a city of habitation!" 
Psalm 107:7
