“We March On”

What does your road look like today? Is it smooth and easy? Is it windy and bumpy? Is it dark and blurry?

Sometimes the valley’s deep
Sometimes the mountain’s high
Sometimes we get to rest
Sometimes we have to fight

Our circumstances in life can change in an instant. Things are going well and then something derails us, and suddenly the road ahead looks long and hard. Or, we can’t even see it at all, and the future we were so sure about is full of unknowns.

In the inconsistency of our lives, we have one constant: our hope in Jesus Christ. Sometimes, that hope is all we have. It keeps us going. It keeps us moving forward, even if moving forward looks like taking one small step at a time. We do what Paul did and “press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:14).

We march
I’m walking on the upward way
With a heart of faith
Climbing higher and higher
Holding onto the hand that leads

We don’t have to march on alone. We have a hand that leads us, a God who cares for us, a Savior who died for us. So when the way down here feels long, focus on the upward way, have a heart of faith, put one foot in front of the other. March on.
