What is pilgrimage? A long journey made to a sacred place. That describes this life we live very well. It can be a struggle and there are bound to be hurdles in our way. We need to keep our eyes on the prize just as Jesus did. We may not be facing the same problems Jesus did but we need just as much strength and wisdom as he needed. It is a very long road and there are winding turns and things that we can’t see coming and there are so many rocks in the road. But with the help we receive from our savior we can overcome. Each day there are new troubles and everyone has different troubles. But God promises that he will be with us each and every day helping us get through. Some problems don’t seem so bad but unless you have walked that way before you don’t know. Sickness, disease, handicaps and accidents can derail you when you least expect it. Learning to overcome each one takes time. You might be fine one day and are on top of the world. But you have something unexpected happen and you need to trust that God is already working out tomorrow’s difficulties. He is the only one in complete control of tomorrow and he does care very much for all of his creation. He only asks that we trust him because every hurdle does have an answer but sometimes it seems slow to come. God may tell you what the future holds but it is slow in coming and we can try to do it on our own strength but only God can get it done. Satan try’s to convince you that God doesn’t care and that you are on your own. Which of course is a lie. So which angel are you going to trust for your pilgrimage, the angel of darkness or the one who knows what is best for you and the one who created you?

“Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.” Psalms 84:5
