The Importance of Walking with Him

Walking with Him is right where we need to be at this particular time in history. In fact, as the poem about the footprints in the sand tells us, God has to reach over, pick us up, and carry us at times.

I know He has had to snatch me up more than a couple of times! I am glad His back does not get worn out.

When you are walking with someone, you might be pleased to chit chat or possibly hash over essential topics; you may glance around and see the surrounding beauty, you may even notice scenery you have never noticed before. When taking a walk with someone, you are silent, enjoying the stroll and each other’s company. That is where I would like you to consider starting, and if it gets too difficult and you can’t bear to go on, remember He is there to pick you up and carry you whenever you ask.

Consider for a Moment: Walking with Him

Travel with me in your mind for a moment. Imagine a peaceful walk with the Lord amidst all the turmoil in your life. If you ask Him to come alongside you, He surely will. That is the first step. When I first talked to Him… wait, let me back up for a moment. If I am going to be honest with you, the first time I conversed with the Lord on a matter of distress, I did not walk or even talk. I jumped, yelled, screamed, cried, and had a righteous temper tantrum about my discovery. That said, I suppose my peaceful walk would be the second time.

I began to pray as I had never prayed before. I spoke to Him while driving my car, taking a shower, preparing dinner, sweeping the floors; whatever task I was attempting to carry out, I was constantly in prayer. I prayed with feverish desperation, and I received concrete answers. Whether from the mouth of a good friend or the nudges of the Holy Spirit, I received my responses.
