Though we do not know where the road winds--we know where it ends!

(Charles Spurgeon)

Life is ever changing. Who can tell what may come next? Today it is fair--the next day there may be the thundering storm. Today I may need nothing--tomorrow I may be like Jacob, with nothing but a stone for my pillow and the heavens for my curtains.

But what a happy thought it is: though we do not know where the road winds--we know where it ends!
We may have to go through trial and affliction; the pilgrimage may be a tiresome one--but it is safe. We cannot trace the river upon which we are sailing--but we know it ends in floods of bliss! We cannot track the roads--but we know that they all meet in the great metropolis of Heaven! God help us to pursue the true pilgrimage of a pious life!

"He led them forth by the right way--that they might go to a city of habitation!" Psalm 107:7
