The far Horizons

The horizon can see so far away cant it? Yet, when travelling through mountains, the horizon doesn't see so far away. Sometimes, we're driving along and we just see the mountains driving along, but they seem to just grow closer and closer. Some times, the horizon seems so far away. While we have been travelling it seems that the horizon of our life is full of mountains, and we have to climb the mountain before we can see the next chapter of this wonderful life that God has planned for our family.

We are in our second year of travelling at the moment, and despite all the happy memories it brings we would like to settle down again, hopefully by the end of this year. Yet we do not know where or when we will settle down, and sometimes find it hard to enjoy where we are at the moment instead looking ahead to an uncertain future. Questions about our future fill all our minds, and it can seem a very distracting train of thought. We know that God sees all, but it seems so frustrating not to be able to see over those mountains.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope for a future. This verse is really encouraging when we are all just looking up and up and seeing the towering mountains we seem to need to climb. The peace of God just comes on you, and you know that God can tear down mountains for you, and create a pass through the mountains.

Proverbs 23:18 there is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Sometimes it feels our hope has been cut off, like when another of our plans gets dashed, but God has a future for us, and he will make us rise with wings like eagles Isaiah 40:30-31 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

Sometimes we just need to trust in the Lord and rest on his peace. Maybe when you fell hopeless, you just need to remember bible verses, and pray them out loud to God. He will surely hear your prayer. Maybe you need to ask for wisdom that passes understanding

Phillipians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and thanksgiving,. Present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
