The moment we accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we begin a journey towards home, our heavenly home to be with our Saviour and God. When we start this journey, we learn that at any moment our Lord may come and give the shout to call us up and escort us home. When we are young with energy and expectations, we hope, that unless the Lord comes, we have time to do and enjoy many things in the present life. For some, life, at first, seems like an adventure. As we grow older and mature spiritually, we realize that some of our youthful ideas and ambitions were, as Paul said, “childish things,” that we grow out of. As we get older, we start to understand the brevity of life and may begin to value more the things which endure. Some may, like Jacob, look back as they near the end of life’s journey and feel that “few and evil have the days of the years of my life been.” Others may say, “I can’t wait to get home,” looking forward with anticipation and not back with regret. But may we learn to enjoy at every stage of life that “right now” can always be a happy and productive time of life for us, and may we be encouraged, knowing that the best is yet to be.
