Steven's Travels and Thoughts

Just as the end of our days is beautiful when we look toward the sun, the end of our lives is colored with peace and hope when we look to the Son and believe in Him.

“For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” John 6:40 NIV

Autumn trees model the beauty of those humans who die with hope of living again.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 ESV

On a recent flight from Curaçao to Miami, the setting sun shown above and below the clouds, and glistened on the golden Caribbean Sea.

It reminds me that God is on both sides of the clouds in our life.

David said, “If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Psalm 139:9‭-‬10 NIV

Wherever we are geographically, emotionally, spiritually, socially, financially, or in health “even there God’s hand will guide us, and His right hand will hold us fast.

Knowing God is with us, enables us to travel toward darkness or light with courage, faith, and hope.
