Will It Ever End?

At some point things as we know it will come to an end. Revelation tells us about the new heaven and new earth that is coming but no way to rush it. Everything goes according to God's plan. In the first Book of Kings, 19:4-8, Elijah was ready for it all to be over. As the passage begins, "Elijah went a day's journey into the desert, until he came to a broom tree and sat beneath it. He prayed for death, saying: 'This is enough, O Lord! Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers'". Each time the angel of the Lord came to him and tapped him on the shoulder urging him to eat for the journey would be long. Even though Elijah wanted to give it up the Lord would not allow it and the prophet went back to his mission. Jesus is the bread of life that sustains us in our journey of life and faith. With our ups and downs, peaks and valleys, it is easy to ask, "Will it ever end"? We know that God gives us the grace and strength we need to continue the journey until a time He sees fit! Let us go forth, renewed by the bread of life, to live our faith and continue the mission at hand! God Bless Our Journey!!!
