The Journey
Devotionals to help you walk by faith with God
Our walk with God is not a sprint or a one-and-done experience. It’s a journey as we follow Jesus all day, every day, one step at a time. The longer we walk with Him, the more He teaches us. The journey won’t always be smooth. And sometimes it can be hard. To persevere, we must stay close to Jesus. He invites us to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28). When we stay connected to Him, He sustains us, and we bear much fruit (John 15:5). It’s only when we’re close to Jesus, that we can follow the Bible’s command to walk by faith and not by what we see (2 Corinthians 5:7).
