The Lord God gives us vision and direction in our lives. He will tell His disciples what the goal is, but hide the individual steps to get there. Along this journey, God will instruct you to daily tasks and then reveal Himself within them. So a Christian's journey is from revelation to revelation of Jesus, increasing their faith in their walk until they meet that original goal. Along the way of the journey we will encounter despair and disappointment from failure. How we respond to this despair is vital to the next step of our faith.
