In my life, I have done a lot of traveling. I seen small towns, I have seen big cities. With every small town or big city I have been able to see many sights and learn many lessons as well as experience many different cultures. One thing I can say is when I went to these places, I've always had a traveling buddy. God always had someone there to complete the journey with me so I wouldn't be alone. I've had my mother next to me, my father, teammates, my boyfriend, and even a nice neighbor on the plan. No matter what, God always put someone with me so I would not have to make the journey alone. He has done that on my physical trips but he has also done that when I take my spiritual trips.
What is a spiritual trip? It is a time in your life when you have to take a spiritual journey in your faith. When you have to leave your comfort zone and experience a different type of worship or perhaps experience the different people in your your faith. No matter what, God sends us a travelling buddy to accompany us along the way.
I have been reading Ruth. The first chapter was rather interesting. I encourage you to read it for yourself, but to summarize... Ruth married a woman's son named Naomi. After some time Ruth's husband died and so did Naomi's. Naomi began to prepare to go to her home town due to the lost of her son and her husband, but Ruth insisted on coming with her. Naomi was telling Ruth to go home to her own home land, but Ruth insisted on staying and comforting Naomi. Nevertheless, Naomi still pleaded with Ruth to leave, but Ruth wouldn't leave her side.
Ruth 1
16 -17 But Ruth said, "Don't force me to leave you; don't make me go home. Where you go, I go; and where you live, I'll live. Your people are my people, your God is my god; where you die, I'll die, and that's where I'll be buried, so help meGod —not even death itself is going to come between us!"
Look back over your life. Who has God put in your life to be that traveling buddy? Who has played the role as that shoulder to lean on or that comforter. God always gives us someone to support us during our journey. Some may say "Well I experienced this alone...". Upon Jesus departure from this Earth, he left us with the holy spirit to be with us always. To be that guide we need in our life. The holy spirit says to us the same thing Ruth said to Naomi above. "Where you go, I go. Where you live, I live."
I think God for my traveling buddies, physically and spiritually. Just remember, when you go on your journeys whether it be a life mission or trip to New York, God won't send you there alone.
