Psalm 17:15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
To journal, for me is an avenue to write down and recall my journey as a “sojourner” with God through this life. We probably all make too much of this life as “all we have” to live for. The idea that we are sojourners, just passing through, does not always register or connect with our thinking, and thus our living (the Gospel). Jim Elliot says …
“Let nothing turn us from the truth that God has determined that we become strong under fire, after the pattern of the Son. Nothing else will do.” (Jim Elliot, “Shadow of the Almighty”)
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are the children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we kn ow that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is.
Oh the work of God in and on feeble men like me, is convicting and yet comforting to know that one day when my sojourning days are done, I will finally be like Him. All praise and glory to the God who transforms the body, mind and soul!
Peace & Glorify~
