A WORD FROM PASTOR MARK
A little phrase caught my attention. I cut it out of a magazine and placed it on a shelf where I often look. The phrase simply says, “a long obedience in the same direction.” The Christian life is not a spurt of enthusiasm for a day, but a walk over a lifetime. The Apostle Paul understood this life of long obedience as he wrote to the believers at Thessalonica about “endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 1:3). The living hope of Jesus enables us to keep putting one foot in front of the other every day … until we arrive home!
