Walking Together
Most every evening Kathy and I take a long walk together. Its become such a family tradition that our dog Emma goes nuts when she hears the dishes being put away because she knows she gets to go also. I’ve been doing some study in Ephesians and Paul brings up the theme of walking quite often. As I was thinking about what Paul was teaching I realized that the walks Kathy and I take are not all the same. Sometimes we talk about the future. Sometimes we share struggles. Sometimes we argue. And sometimes its just quiet as we each reflect on life. However, even though the walks are different, I realized that we are always walking together. Did you get my point? We are together. We seem to always choose to walk together. Our walk with God is similar. No matter what went on in your life walk with God today, did you choose to walk with Him? Here are some walking passages to reflect on: Gen. 3:8; 22:6ff; 14:29; Deut. 6:7; 8:6; Ps. 1:2; 23:4; John 8:12; Rom. 6:4; 2 Cor. 5:7; Eph. 2:10; 5:8; Phil. 3:17-18; 1 John 1:6-7, and many others. I hope you have a great day. I can’t wait to walk with my wife tonight.

I LOVE the thought of walking with God. But you know what REALLY gets to me? That He wants to walk with ME!!

Sounds like a great tradition for anyone to have. Especially when it seems we are not spending enough time with those we’re walking with! So often we get caught up in trying to get everything done and done right, that we forget to make sure thats its what God would have us do and the way he would have us do it. I could see how taking the time to walk and talk to God (and our loved ones as well) could be helpful and healthy, both physically and spiritually. Thanks once again for your words of encouragement. Your friend,
Joe
