“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost
I don’t know much about your experience on the planet, Bob, but you nailed this one. Our youth can only be seen in the review mirror. The doctors’ visits have taken on a more serious tone. There have been too many funerals with a piece of my heart also buried. Even if the anticipation of bedtime seems to be the highlight of the day, life goes on. It must go on and we must be a part of it.
I’m sure Joseph felt the same way as his torturous journey took him down into Egypt. However, the Scripture clearly teaches life has an eternal purpose and must go on.
Psalm 105:16-19
Moreover He called for a famine in the land;
He destroyed all the provision of bread.
He sent a man before them—
Joseph—who was sold as a slave.
They hurt his feet with fetters,
He was laid in irons.
Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of the Lord tested him.
Let’s just keep on going until the results of life here will be read at the end of the line.
Think about it.
