One of my Christmas presents from my daughter and son-in-law was this beautiful travel journal. I love journaling during our travels and especially enjoy reading the various quotes and passages of Scripture pertaining to travel that are scattered through the pages of this particular journal. The Scripture on the front (from Joshua 1:9) is one of my favorites: “For the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Through the years, our travels have taken us many places. And so has the road of life. Winding roads, with no place to get off. Blind curves, and no way to see around them. There have been high places, and then the depths of despair.
But through it all—in good times and bad—I've had one constant companion. I can't live a day without Him.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Dayle.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most wonderful things about Think on These Things are the blessings to me personally from those that link up. It is so wonderful to read this verse again. I am printing it out and sticking to the fridge to read over and over this week. After all these years I have stacked up, I can echo with your winding roads sentiments. So thankful that the Lord has always been with me even during the times I felt all alone.
ReplyDeleteIt's so inspiring and breath-taking to look back and know without a doubt that He had His Hand in your life!
ReplyDeleteSuch a comforting post. Thanks for the reminder that He is always with us!
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect verse for me and my husband as we settle into this new home, for He truly is with us wherever we go!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank God that you (we) never ever HAVE to live a day without Him.
ReplyDeleteI love that verse too. In fact, I love the entire book of Joshua. Of all the Bible studies I've ever taught, my favorite was a year spent in the book of Joshua.
I also wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your Week in Review post below. I know you're so happy to be home again. And oh please... kind that little thing could have EVER forgotten you! Perish the thought.
