Born to Walk with God

"He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8).

God’s desire is that we might “walk with Him”. Many times people think that to be a Christian means that “God walks with me” – in other words, wherever I go, God goes. But we are called to align our lives to the life of God, not the other way around. We walk with God.

"Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?" (Amos 3:3).

Walking in His presence

"…God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you’ ” (Hebrews 13:5 & see also Matthew 28:20).

God has promised never to leave us. His presence is always with us (Psalm 139:1-12; Isaiah 43:2; Deut.20:1). The question, however, is not whether God is in our presence, but whether we are walking in His presence.

"Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim You, who walk in the light of Your presence, O Lord" (Psalm 89:15).

Walking in His ways

"…'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths'…" (Isaiah 2:3).

Seeking Him

"The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the Word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught" (Isaiah 50:4).

Listening to Him

"But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me" (Psalm 131:2).

Enjoying His presence

"One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple" (Psalm 27:4).

Following in His footsteps

"My feet have closely followed His steps; I have kept to His way without turning aside" (Job 23:11).

Walking with Jesus

"Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did" (1 John 2:6).

Following Him

"Then he said to them all: 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me' " (Luke 9:23).

Yoked with Him

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Matt.11:29-30).

Our walk with God is an exciting, daily experience. Seize the opportunity, today. <3
