Paul called the Christian life a race but at the same time, it’s meant to be a pilgrimage.

It’s not a sprint.
It’s a slow walk home.

This world tells us to hurry.
Yet, Jesus was unhurried.
This world tells us we must try harder and work longer.
God says, be still, cast yours cares, and linger just a little longer.

Do you hear Him whispering?

“Come away, my darling.”

A Psalm of ______(fill in your name)

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

find peace
the right paths

expectant
God will
prepare a table
provide
point out the place
He’s set apart and
is protecting just for me.

This is my slow walk,
my intentional step,
my obedient stay,
stretching my borders
lengthening my cords
strengthening my pegs
and lacing up my boots
for what’s ahead.
Promised land.
Providence.
