To be a Christian is to be a traveller; like that of the Israelite people in the desert of Sinai: we live in tents, not houses, for spiritually we are always on the move. We are on a journey through the inward space of the heart, a journey not measured by the hours of our watch or the days of the calendar, for it is a journey out of time into eternity.

I agree and fight that desire of making this my home rather than being a pilgrim on a journey. Thank you for sharing that.

Oh, my, I see that I just posted this quote a few weeks ago! I am going to leave it up anyway, because this time I found a nice photo to go with. And the thought must be something I am trying to teach myself…

This reminds me of the Psalms of Ascent (120-) and the sweet focus on the Creator of everything and the journey with our fellow pilgrims. I really like Eugene Peterson’s A Long Obedience in the Same Direction for this reason.

The wonderful title of that book has inspired me ever since I heard of it long ago – I haven’t even needed to read the book 😉
