Our Journey Has Begun, submitted by Sister Joyce Anderson
With excitement, anticipation, expectation, faith, hope and some fear, we are embarking on a new journey.
Just like the story in the 14th chapter of Matthew beginning at verse 22, as Jesus “constrained” his disciples to get into a ship to go before him to the other side, we have been led by God to take this journey.
Along the way, we may be tossed by waves and contrary winds, but we know that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth and will reveal to us the things we must know to continue the journey. In verse 27 Jesus said, “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.”
Just as Jesus told Peter to get out of the boat, to get out of his comfort zone, to “Come,” He told us to come. We must keep our eyes on Him unlike Peter who lost focus and began to sink.
He has prepared us with experiences and skill.
He has uniquely gifted each one of us to be here at this time.
So, let’s stir up our gifts and take this life-changing journey “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1-6)
Our journey has begun.
