A faith journey begins with seeking God. We all have different starting points–some began a walk of the Christian faith as a child, and some later as adults. Throughout life we continue on this journey of faith, yielding more of our lives to Jesus Christ.
The Christian faith is in God the Father, the creator of all the details of the world, in Jesus Christ, the author and perfecter of our faith, and in the Holy Spirit as our guide. We have a road map–the Bible–to read and follow for instructions and guidance.
The faith journey opens our hearts and minds to the mysteries of God’s love. Where will it take us? Through the wilderness like the Israelites? Or following where God leads, like Paul on his missionary journeys?
We are all at different places. Some might be in the valley, on a level path, by a quite stream, or on a rocky road. Wherever your faith journey takes you today, seek the Lord as your tour guide. His commands give us what we need for the journey.
“I run in the path of your commands for you have set my heart free.” Psalm119:32

Nancy thank you for this post which reminds me of what Beth Moore said, “Every date on your man-contrived schedule can be a date with Christ. He’ll do the driving.” I am not a good passenger most of the time, but then at other times, I welcome someone else (Christ) to do the driving – especially on rocky roads. :+)
