Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

Luke 24:35

Do worry, fear, and anxiety restrict your travel as you age? Are you limited to viewing scrapbooks and digital pictures of past trips when you were younger and stronger? What role does God play in your physical travel?

In Luke 24, two disciples on the road to Emmaus walked with slumped shoulders — without hope and alone. And yet the stranger who joined them was the crucified and risen Jesus! Chiding their unbelief, He opened to them the Scriptures concerning Himself. Only when He broke bread with them were their eyes opened to recognize their risen Christ. Immediately with joy, they were on the road again to Jerusalem with a spring in their steps. How about your continuing spiritual road?

Lord Jesus, sustain me on the road through your Word and Your real presence in the “breaking of the bread.” Amen.

Reflect: To face the road again, place yourself in the hands of the risen Christ.
