Whoever says, “I abide in him,” ought to walk just as he walked.
(1 John 2.6
NRSV)
There was an article in the newspapers some time ago about homing pigeons. Tom Murphy, a trainer in Pittsburgh, PA. suffered a broken shoulder that left him unable to care for his 30 pigeons. So he sold them. Two of the birds were transported to Texas. Both of them escaped from their new owners within a period of a few weeks, however. They flew their coops and separately made turbulent, 1,500 mile flights back to Murphy's Pittsburgh home. "Obviously, they had been blown about by storms," Murphy said of his thin, battered birds. "By the grace of God, these birds made it, but I don't know how."
How DOES a homing pigeon find its way back home, and what is it that drives it to overcome such odds to continue the journey?
Our journey may be rough but Christ is there to walk with us.
God of love, walk with me today. Amen.
