This is one of my all time favorite verses. I love to think of myself as a sojourner following the path of Jesus. I am a stranger here making my way toward heaven.
So true that we too are just sojourners as we make it through this life. As I've aged, I am thankful for each new morning even when the weather is being ridiculous. Our snow is gone, but we've had way too much rain and flooding. So ready for Spring. Have a great week. :)
Yes, Pilgrim's Prograss! That's the view from our great room - on the rare winter day when it's not snowing! Currently in the midst of a true blizzard, so it's all white and gray today.
What a treasure to find this verse in I Chronicles-- the here and now can seem pretty substantial, and we forget that it's not all there is. Real life is still ahead of us!
Don't you just love it when you're reading along and a verse just pops off the page at you? That was the case on the day I prepared this post. When I read "shadow," I knew I had recently snapped the perfect photo for it. As I mulled it over again this morning, the temporary nature of our existence on earth really hit me.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat. Don't you love that word? Sojourners? Reminds me of: "This world is not my home, I'm just a passin' through...."

DeleteThis verse reminds me of Pilgrim in Pilgrim's progress. Such encouragement of the legacy of sojourners before us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and what a beautiful winter scene!

ReplyDeleteIt surely is a treasure, Michele. We're just temporarily residing on this earth. As you said, real life is still ahead of us! What a glorious truth!
DeleteI love this beautiful verse from scripture! Sojourners in a strange land.

Deleteremembering that we are just sojourners helps us keep life in perspective, doesn't it? Good words!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kym! We need to focus on that perspective.
