The name of this image is "In The Offing." It struck my attention as I searched for images to convey how I feel about life in general right now. I know the Lord has something there for me out there... but my vision is obscured - it is "in the offing." I thought of Luke 21:19 (Message Version).

"Staying with it - that's what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won't be sorry; you'll be saved."
I must keep remembering what the goal of life is. Not things which are external, and that will become dilapidated and tarnished with age, but with those lasting, eternal, internal, holy things of the Lord.
What you take with you to the grave is your name and your legacy. With that, I must wait for God to reveal His purpose for me from faith to Faith, and from glory to Glory. So many times I want to rush and try to control my future - but that is as futile as trying to see what is in the offing.
I must take joy that God knows. That God sees. And so with patience, I possess me my soul.
