Being Pilgrims
• Consider eternity when you make
decisions—“How will this matter when I am in Zion?”
• Living a pilgrim’s life will be tough,
but remember God is always there toprotect and sustain you.
• Take a step of faith this week—do
something you know you should do,
but have been hesitant because you
don’t know how it will work out.
