Time is not running out. This day is not a sieve, losing time. With each passing minute, each passing year, there's this deepening awareness that I am filling, gaining time. We stand on the brink of eternity.
--- Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts DevotionalI read these words at the start of this day... where before the covers were pulled back... a prayer for blessing on the pressing of time was felt full... and already had called out for His help... His calm...
A day begun by wondering where the margin was... and would He please increase it... because time it felt... as if it ran through a sieve...
And reading her words... it comes to me...
I am not just passing time, I am going somewhere.
Each day is a journey... an opportunity to gain ground...
Each choice... a step to go farther...
along the Way of Holiness...
or... wander... off track...
Time... is the road on which I walk...
I am not just passing time... I am passing through...
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Psalm 84:5 NIV
Father God... help me journey well today...
moment... by... moment...
open my eyes... to the truth of each choice...
in word or deed... being a step... along this journey...
