Traveling Mercies

School’s out and summer’s here. Time for hitting the road and taking vacations, for leaving the comforts of home and venturing out and away. When you journey about these warm weather months, know that God always goes with you – it’s a promise!

As you drive or fly, He’ll be there. When the kids are asking, “Are we there yet?” and the car’s almost of gas, He’ll be there. And as you savor those moments of solitude and serenity, He’ll be there smiling, glad that you’ve finally found some rest.

The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Exodus 33:14 (NIV)

Happy trails!
