Hebrews 11:13-15
All of these died in faith without having received the promises, but from a distance they saw and greeted them. They confessed that they were strangers and foreigners on the earth, for people who speak in this way make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of the land that they had left behind, they would have had opportunity to return.
Looking back
causes us to stumble
to think of what might have been
Following God
along a path unknown
but made clear
leads toward the promise
And though we may not see
The Promised Land
we can know
the joy
the trial
the frustration
and the resilience
of journeying
with the One who goes before us
and yet is behind us
all the way.
