Lord, help me to appreciate the
fact that you give me a resting place. God and I can pause, renewing myself for
the journey. I know I will need to take to the road again. You told us as your
followers to go into the world. This pause enables me to ready the sail. My
true homeland is not here. In one sense, we as Christians are strangers in
every land. We are pilgrims moving toward the abiding city of God. That is also
true of me as an American follower of Jesus. No matter how much I love this
land and its mission of the spread of liberty, it remains my temporary home. As
I go, I will pray. As I go, love will be my song and life will be my
celebration. I have the privilege to be one small part of the house of God that
God is fashioning. I want to go with God this day. Amen.
