Have you ever given any thought to the way people walk? Some people have a penguin walk. Others have a duck walk, full of wobble. Some people have a limp in their walk. Others walk fast and others slow. Now, any of these walks are fine with me, so long as we walk with the Lord.
When we walk with the Lord, we go where He goes. It primarily deals with our location. When we walk with God, we are safe. We grow; we have fellowship and we have assurance, among other things.
As a young boy, I remember shopping with my family in downtown Mobile, Alabama. I was enamored by all the stores and people. My dad on numerous occasions would say, “Now stay with me.” As you can imagine, I didn’t. I stopped to gaze in department store windows; as the old saying goes, “Oops, they were gone.” When my brain finally kicked back into gear, my parents were nowhere around. Here I am in this large city alone, scared, and seemingly doomed. As I wandered from store to store, fighting back the tears, this large hand grabs me and says, “I told you to stay with me.” Let me assure you from then on I did. The same principle applies when it comes to walking with the Lord. Our safety, peace, and assurance come from just staying with God!!
What to do:
✞Walk with God and you’ll be glad you did.
