ONWARD

ONWARD

As I was reading my lesson for my bible study, the song “Onward Christian Soldiers” came to my mind.  We have been studying the leaving of Egypt so this song was very appropriate.  I remember singing this song when I was a little girl, standing next to my mom and the both of us singing out very loud and proud.  That song just makes you do that.  So with that I ask you, are you traveling down this journey marching onward as a Christian soldier? 

While marching down this road of life we must be soldiers.  We will venture into enemy’s territory.  We will march into the homeland.  We will come across situations that we feel we can’t win.  We will win some battles, and then again we may lose a few.    Whether winning or losing we should still march on.  March on through the jungle, being challenged by many circumstances that make us ask the questions why? 

Even though our journey may be difficult it will be worth it.  The Lord is with us just as He was with the Israelites as the crossed the desert.  He parted the Red Sea, He changed the water so they could drink it, He led them to a place where there were springs and gave them food.  It is during these battles that we must press onward knowing that He is with us.  We must trust and have faith in Him. 

Deuteronomy 31:6

New International Version (NIV)

6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
