For all people walk each in the name of his god, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever and ever. Micah 4:5
This is what it boils down to. Walking in the name of the Lord our God forever.
Walking—day by day. Some days will be good. Some not so good. Some very difficult. But just keep walking in the same (upward) direction. “Singing if my way is clear, praying if the path be drear.” is how the songwriter put it.
In the name of the Lord our God—not relying on our own strength, mindful of how easy it is to slip and fall away.
Forever—buoyed-up by the knowledge that this thing doesn’t end at the grave. It begins there, with a promised resurrection to life eternal.
