That is why the Holy Spirit says, “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, when they tested me in the wilderness.” – Hebrews 3:7-8 (NLT)
The Christian walk is long because it is a life-long journey
of total personal dedication to God to whom we offer up ourselves. The Journey
can be very difficult at times, especially when it comes to being humbled,
tried and persecuted in one way or another.
You can feel as though you are being ground fine into flour
and baked at high temperature but still press on. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, in their fiery furnace experience, you will not be alone as the
Holy Spirit walks with you every step of the way.
“When you go to war, your people will serve you willingly. You
are arrayed in holy garments, and your strength will be renewed each day like
the morning dew.” – Psalm 110:3 (NLT)
Spirit is your Person, serving you willingly, teaching,
guiding, comforting and strengthening you.
It is a journey to the finish line of the good fight race.
We must remain faithful as we “press on to reach the end of the race and
receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us”
(Philippians 3:14 NLT)
On the Journey, you are set apart, that is, separate unto
God. It is a journey into God, into unity and fellowship with Him.
Beloved, the Journey has so many moving parts that cannot be
described or explained in a simple blog post, only part thereof.
Actually, no one can really describe or explain everything
that it involves because though, we go through certain things in general, each
individual journey is different. So don’t believe that your walk will be exactly
like your friend’s walk but do believe that you will both be in the same place
at the end, which is with Jesus in Paradise (see Luke 23:42-43).
