Family Travels

David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. 1 Samuel 22:1

Illness, injury, and other troubles cause family to rush to our side, as they did with David way back in the day. We had news here of a family on the way to their loved one yesterday, and it eased our burden greatly. Family can do things that even friends may not be able to accomplish under the law, as we found out when asking hospitals for news. It can be frustrating when you are left on the outside through nothing but the accident of familial birth.

You can see it coming though, and yes I'm going there!

In the new birth in Christ we are born into the family of God. And in the heavens and the new earth there will be no 'left out' for anyone in the family of God. I do not know whether we will look the same, be of one skin color, or of many more than we are now. I cannot say if there will be names of families such as we know here. But all those in the family of God will count on the name of our Savior and hold Him dear. That's the family for me, and that's the family for us all!

Have a great new day in the Lord's family!
