For
the last three years, we have been journeying Towards Canaan’s Land,
and this year is no exception. In our first year, we prepared to
climb mountains, knowing that on our journey, people may not believe us
or listen to our voices. See Exodus 4:1. In our
second year, we obediently went through the vast deserts, learning to
serve the Lord our God and obey His voice no matter the circumstance. See Joshua
24:24. In our third year, we crossed the Jordan into the River
Valley, committing to serve the Lord our God all of our days. See Joshua 24:31.
In
our final journey Towards Canaan’s Land, we will finally see “Glimpses
of the Rainbow over the Land of Milk and Honey,” and hear God asking us
to obey His voice and do all that He commands, so that we may be His
people, and He will be our God, establishing the oath He swore to our
fathers, to give them “a land flowing with milk and honey.” It is
only through fervency, growth in knowledge, faithfulness and
dedication, and evangelism that we may join together and say, “so be
it, Lord.” See Jeremiah 11:4-5.
