Keep Moving Pilgrims

"This life, therefore, is not righteousness but growth in righteousness; not health but healing; not being but becoming; not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it. The process is not yet finished, but it is going on. This is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified." - Martin Luther

Christians we must not stop but we must continue the journey. We are not permanent residents on this earth but are pilgrims. Our journeys are hard treks and sometimes, maybe a lot of times, we get off the path God has called us to follow. But giving up must not be an option. Standing still is not what pilgrims do. Sometimes we seem to have gone forward one step only to fall back two. The devil will tell you to give up. He will tell you all about your failings and remind you that you are weak. He will entice you to put down roots in THIS earth. Don't listen to him. Keep moving Pilgrims. We have a greater destination. Keep moving. Listen to what God's Word says about those patriarchs who went before us.

Hebrews 11:13-16
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

God has prepared a city for us. Until we arrive there we must keep moving.
