5 What joy for those whose strength comes from the L ORD, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. 6 When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings. 7 They will continue to grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem

Realize you are a Traveller ‘who have set their minds on a pilgrimage’ 5

Travellers don’t have to be Miserable ‘ What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord’ 5

Travellers Walk not Run! ‘ When they walk through the Valley of Weeping’ 6a

Travellers get Promises! ‘it will become a place of refreshing springs! The autumn rains will clothe it with blessing!’ 6b

Isaiah 43: 19 For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

Traveller’s have Choices Option 1: Rebel! Option 2: Trust and Wait!

Travellers get Stronger on the journey- not Weaker ‘they will continue to grow stronger’ 7

Travellers always reach their destination ‘ And each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem’ 7b

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. 3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.

For the Lord God is your Sun and your Shield. He gives you grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right 11 O Lord of Heaven’s Armies What JOY for those who Trust in you! 12

Isaiah 43: 19 For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
