Matthew 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up , and choked them.
Our journey as Christians is mostly about going to those places where Christ is not known, in cases, this is where we come from
{Luke 8:39 "Return home and tell how much God has done for you."};
Also, the journey encompasses us preaching to places where God takes us. The fault with men is that we are tempted to take-up the tasks to our personal abilities as soon as we notice the 'end of the tunnel'.
But in this life, noticing the end of the tunnel does not quite guarantee arrival, or exit out of that tunnel thereof. It only assures us that God is with us, Emmanuel, and if we stay in faith, holding on, we find our way to the end.
Once a journey is started with Christ, its always better near Christ; than away from him. Yet many times people are tempted to run away from him who starts our journeys, and deviate where it appears that the journey is longer than expected; or more fiery that initially thought.
However, today, i pray for you that you stick to God, no matter how thick the battle becomes. I pray that you find grace in the Lord and that you will find favor in his eyes for you and your kins. In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.
