Numbers 35:9-36:13; Proverbs 31:1-31; Luke 5:17-39
The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. Genesis 47:9
Elderly Jacob looked over his days and said they were “few and evil.” It is far better to look at our Lord, as He guides us along our way. He will be with believers every step homeward, until He receives us to Himself. Our journey here is temporary, but it will culminate in eternal glory reigning with our God. —Keith Keyser
Though our pilgrimage be dreary,
This is not our resting-place;
Shall we of the way be weary,
When we see our Master’s face? —Samuel P. Tregelles
