Hebrews 11:10
“For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”
***
A pilgrim does not concern himself with current circumstances, because his focus and perspective is always onward, never backwards!
Pilgrims are ‘destination bound’– they are people on progress, their movement is not dependant on the severity of their current environments. Often in life, as Christians we forget that we are pilgrims in a foreign world. We become permanent tenants to a world that refuses to accept our identity as freely created beings belonging to a King whose Kingdom knows no geographical confines.
This world seems to inject us with poisonous venom that undermines our great commission and divine purpose. Pilgrims do not travel in the absence of pain, for during their travel the winds may be contrary, rains and storms may arise. Yet we are not to forget that this world in its current state is not our home, we are just pilgrims homeward bound, called to greater dimensions of life, unmarred by sin and its slimy nature.
Are you tired and feeling helpless?
Do you feel burdened by the routine of life, death and illness, disappointment and fear?
I know of a home prepared for the victorious, wearied by life yet strengthened by their maker, pilgrims are people who live by principles that do not change or are easily influenced by others!
Such as:
Prayer – to navigate through the fierce winds that sink so many relation(ships)
The Bible – to find rooting and support to bear fruits of character in due season
We are not to have a mindset that is in tune with the social systems of this world. Pilgrims live by perspectives that are sharpened by faith in God!
Do not let your efforts to be cemented by despair, pick yourself up and continue travelling onward, you have a greater calling, one that is not to be validated or assisted by men.
Awake my fellow pilgrim and let us travel through the thorns of life, for the Rose of Sharon aids our every step!
