the promised land

Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mt Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho and the Lord showed him the whole land.....The Lord said to him. 'This is the land, I will give it to your descendants.'  Deuteronomy 34:1-4 (paraphrased.)
I was walking on the bicycle track after rain and there were worms attempting to cross it. The bitumen was drying fast and many were stuck. Some made it to the other side, some perished on the way and for some strange reason I thought of Moses and his people as they struggled for years to reach the promised land. Some made it, some perished on the way. Then, I took that thought further into our own lives and how many struggle in their endeavor to reach the promised land. Some are lost on the way, some die, some don't know it exists and some run with great perseverance to reach it.
 Our task is to lead God's people, to seek them out,to make Christ known, to nurture them on the way to that promised land that is theirs by faith.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, servant of the Lord
