Proverbs 3:5-6. As we have been saying throughout this year, the Christian life is a journey which begins when we seek the Lord, and the journey continues everyday as we follow Him.

Instructions for 2026

Have a clear destination in mind.

In C.S. Lewis’s Narnia grand finale, The Last Battle, one chapter is entitled “Farther Up and Further In,” and this phrase is repeated a great many times by various characters.  They were on a journey, and they constantly encouraged each other to keep going, to not give up, and to be strong, echoing Aslan’s inspiring words.

What to bring and what to leave behind.

As we know from traveling through life, destinations demand a good understanding of what we need to take and what we need to leave behind.

Travel Light!  Let go of entanglements and encumbrances.

Dress appropriately for the journey.

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, (God has washed us) put on (clothe yourself) with a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.” Colossians 3:12-13
