Traveler Diaries




TRAVELER DIARIES:

There once was a traveler journeying in quest of the heavenly city. And this was his little experience:

The Traveler's Dilemma:

"Oh! My heart is so weary and burdened
Am I going in the right way?
Maybe I need to change the route
This pathway is making my life so miserable
I wonder what can relieve my heart of the pain it is enduring
I do not know 
But I am tired of the long journey that I made today
And the day is almost done
Let me rest here beside the road for the night"
said the traveler to himself.

His heart ached because of the miseries of the journey. Yet, his body needed rest and he fell asleep. Moreover, the Master of the Heavenly city gave a good sleep for all his children traveling along the road that led to His city.

The Traveler's Surprise:

The morning came and the traveler's alarm just woke him up from his deep sleep. And to his delight, he found a cup of warm tea near his backpack. He drank it with great thankfulness and to his utter surprise, all the burdens that weighed his heart the previous night were lifted up. He felt light again ready to start the journey again on that narrow road.

The Traveler's Song:

Oh how foolish have I been to question the route that I travelled
When morning came, I looked to His Word and searched it
And the Master graciously has given me new grace to walk ahead
He has filled my heart with gladness and assurance after reading His Word
The route is right!
Tis the same route that my ancestors Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the patriarchs and the saints had walked previously.
Yea, the journey is hard for the road is narrow
But only by patience and faith can one reach the Heavenly City
The Master has made all the provisions needed to get there
And all these troubles will be nothing when I finally get to see my Master Himself
Oh how I long to see Him
I would run and hug Him
I hope I don't disappoint Him
I hope I do my best in this journey
I better run
These tears I shed now are good
For when I see my Master, He will wipe them all away
For He knows that the journey is weary
It was He who made this road
He walked through it
He understands

Saying so, the traveler began the journey again - running this time, for his heart leapt with joy as his burdens were lifted up.

Prayer:

Dear God,

Every morning when we look up to you and read the Bible, you give us new grace to face the day ahead. You have filled our heart with gladness in the midst of doubt and suffering. You have given us hope to face the day. What more can we ask of you? Oh God, you are beautiful and all Your ways are good. Oh how we long for that beautiful day when we get to beget Your face. Oh our hearts yearn for the wedding feast with the lamb. The miseries and groanings of this life cannot be compared to the glory of what you have ahead. Thank you my dear Father. 

In Jesus Name
Amen.

FAITHFUL

 FAITHFUL               Who is like you,  Lord   God Almighty?        You,  Lord , are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.                Psalms 89: 8              Love and Faithfulness are like two sides of the coin when we think of God's character. He is full of love and He is a very faithful person.             How do you imagine God when you think of Him? I imagine God like the One that Ezekiel saw in a vision. Ezekiel 1: 26, 27 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.   I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Ezekiel saw God in His glory. God had the appearance of man yet glowing in brilliance. Remember He made us in His image! Here is a picture to boost your imagination!

The Purpose

THE PURPOSE God's creation                    God's creation is beautiful. Genesis 1 briefs how God created different things in 6 days  and he rested on day 7.                 Genesis 1: 1-3               In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and morning were the first day.             God saw there was a need. It says that the earth was formless, empty and dark. When God saw the need, He started to do something about it. He spoke and light appeared. God was pleased and called the light as "day" and the darkness as "Night".                 1. God sees a need.                2.

The Journey

                                                                                            The Journey At birth, a baby travels from its mother's womb and comes into this world. As it grows, it transitions from the loving confines of its home to school then to college, workplace, setting up a household and raising up children of its own kind and then becomes old and departs from this Earth. It’s a journey every human being undertakes. It’s a journey that everyone is familiar with. But do you know there is another journey we all travel?             Just as our flesh has its own course, so also the spirit that God kept inside of us has a course to run. I like to call it "The Journey of Faith". The journey of our flesh will come to an end when we die. But the spirit has an eternal journey to undertake.           This journey appears in the Bible for the first time in Genesis 12, when God calls our father Abraham to go to the land which He shows him.    Genesis 12: 1
