Hello Friend,
Walking is the most common metaphor in the Bible for our relationship with God.
More than 300 times, the Old Testament uses the word walk or walking. For example, Micah 6:8 says, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
You find the same metaphor in the New Testament. In Ephesians 4:1, Paul says, “I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called.” Colossians 2:6 tells us, “As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.”
Spiritually speaking, the Christian life is about steadily and continuously walking in the same direction over a period of time in order to end up at your desired destination.
What’s involved with walking with God?
- Waiting on God’s timing.
- Trusting in God’s power.
- Listening to God’s voice.
- Obeying God’s commands.
All of these things can be clearly seen in the biblical model of Abraham, whose example teaches us how to better walk with God. Would you like a closer, more intimate, more consistent walk with God, Friend? Have you struggled with any of the 4 steps above?
