Day 60

Well I can say that I have been overwhelmed on this trip. I have had an overwhelming sense of joy…and overwhelming sense of support…and overwhelming sense of peace…at times an overwhelming sense of tiredness and even pain. 

But never an overwhelming sense of defeat. 

This passage is one of my favorite scripture passages in that it encourages us to remember that we do not encounter the forces of nature or powers that be alone…and they will not, cannot overwhelm us. 

We are often feel as if we will be overwhelmed with the bad news of our day. We are often feel burned by angry words coming at us. We can feel consumed by the day to day work and even in our social media. 

But as was declared so long ago in Isaiah this is not what defines us or even what will or can get the better of us. 

The divine declares. “I am with you!”  These things cannot and will not overwhelm or control you…I am walking with you on your journey…and will not leave you alone. 

I will say it again, “these words encourage us to remember that we do not encounter the forces of nature or powers that be alone…and they will not, cannot overwhelm us.”

I hope you can Find this on your journey. 

Buen Camino
