What you need for the journey

“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not
in finishing an activity but in doing it” Greg Anderson

Living on earth, we are on a journey, the journey on earth
is jam-packed of rough edges, the earth is full of evil, the journey is not for
the weak but those that are strong , to keep our relationship with God is not
an tranquil task, it take perseverance, endurance and courage,  today David
give Solomon all he need for the journey “courage, keep mandate of the Lord,
following is way, commandment, ordinance, statutes and decree” (1 King 2:1-4),
same way Jesus also instructed his disciple “take nothing for the journey but a
walk stick no food, no sack, no money” (Mark 6:8) he want them not to be
frightened of hardship but only put all trust in God providence and power, my
dear brothers and sister  all you need is to put all your trust in God for the
journey is not for the weak, take courage and follow his commandment and you
will succeed in all you do and at the end, the Kingdom of God shall be yours,
don’t give up you are about to finish the race

Prayer Point:     God walk with me in this journey, I
cannot walk alone
