Walking With God

Good Morning!! If you walk together with another person, you probably have a good relationship with him or her. To walk with a person every day - whether in the mall, around a track or in your neighborhood - means that you enjoy each other's company. Walking together is a time to share and strengthen the relationship, to learn more about each other. And so it should be in our walk with God.

But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you: to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to Him, to keep His commands, to hold fast to Him and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."Joshua 22:5 (NIV)

The Bible tells us that Enoch was a man who walked with God. He must have developed a very close relationship with God, because he didn't die. If Enoch's were living today, his press clippings would not be impressive. His testimony probably would not attract thousands to a city-wide crusade. It is unlikely he would sign a book contract, or have a reality TV show. However, as a godly hero, he did have an adventurous life. He had the best of the best,...intimate fellowship with God.

Walking with God encompasses many things. Spending quality time with Him,...and enjoying that time. Talking to Him,...and especially listening to Him. Trusting Him, loving Him, desiring above all else to please Him.

Father, we thank You so much that we can walk with You. That You invite us to spend time with You. And yet sometimes we neglect that wonderful opportunity. Please forgive us. Help us to be a better walking partner. Amen.
"Most of us get stuck spiritually because we keep doing the same thing, while expecting different results."
