All this traveling and not feeling like you’re getting anywhere can wear on a man.”
–Robert Peecher (A Trail Too Far)
“And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
–Luke 8:58 (NKJV)

I have mentioned several times my Hymns at Midnight. Those songs that run through my mind if I happened to wake up in the middle of the night. Usually they are the same, but last week one floated through that I haven’t heard in many, many years.
My heav’nly home is bright and fair,
I feel like traveling on,
Nor pain, nor death can enter there,
I feel like traveling on.
–William Hunter
In this world of darkness and gloom we should be looking toward our home in heaven where the sun never fails to shine, because the Lord is the light. There may be some who decide to stop along the way, others may decide to go back, but as for me, and I hope whomever reads this that they “feel like traveling on.”
Its glitt’ring-tow’rs the sun outshine,
I feel like traveling on,
That heav’nly mansion shall be mine,
I feel like traveling on.
We live in a world that mocks and scoffs at that thought. Some will say that you are so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good, but remember they are mocking and speaking a lie. The person who is truly heavenly minded, the one who has a close relationship with Christ and is led by the Holy Spirit actually does the most earthly good. They have the true perspective of the world and also where they are going. Listen, if someone scoffs at your in your walk with Christ never mind them–keep traveling on.
Let others seek a home below,
I feel like traveling on,
Which flames devour, or waves o’er flow,
I feel like traveling on.
Come, stay awhile with me. Enjoy the fun and pleasures of this life. A little won’t hurt you. Let’s go out and have a good time, forget that religious jargon and join in with us. After all we are all brothers and who is to say your way to God is better than mine? –Do you hear those voices? They are trying to get you to settle down in this life. They want you to walk with them on the wide highway that leads to perdition. Put them aside, travel on to your home in heaven.
The Lord has been so good to me,
I feel like traveling on,
Until that blessed home I see,
I feel like traveling on.
Yes, I feel like traveling on,
I feel like traveling on;
My heav’nly home is bright and fair,
I feel like traveling on.
In the midst of tribulation and trials and troubles–travel on. When the storm rages do not stop your travel, seek shelter but continue forward. When the battle is hard, and the enemy is strong–travel on. When there is pain, sorrow, and suffering–travel on. When you feel as if you cannot take another step–take one more and travel on. Don’t be satisfied with life here, with a dwelling place in this evil world, but look as did that man of old, Abraham, who sought a “city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:10, NKJV). Keep traveling on!
