Night was falling and the weather deteriorating as I began the long drive home. The snow that had been falling lightly became heavier. Gale force winds soon whipped it into a blinding curtain in front of my car. Only intense concentration and prayer kept me on the road.
As the two-and-a-half hour drive stretched to three, then four hours, my muscles ached and my eyes burned. Never had home sounded so good ! When I finally walked through the doorway and collapsed in a chair, I felt great relief.
Sometimes our journey as followers of Christ is like that snowy drive. We struggle through long days of hard work and difficulty. When disappointment and sorrow come, our thoughts go to those wonderful passages of the Bible that describe our home in heaven. It heartens us to think of entering the Lord's presence where we will abide forever.
I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever - Psalm 23:6
