Learning How to Walk

(Or learning how to walk again)

Starts with the story of my Phsyical Therapy for my knee ‘26

This is a story telling style talk...

Due to some pain I have felt in my knee for a long time that has just gone ignored....I recently went to the physical therapy office.

My PT asked me to walk. She watched carefully as I took my steps through the office.

She concluded quickly that I was actually walking wrong and that this was the source of my pain

I know how to walk right?!

I’ve been walking for a long time!

But pain and discomfort in my walk have flared up from time to time...

If you have some pain, or things are out of line, you need to go see the PT right?

So why are we willing to go to the doctor or PT but we don’t think to let Jesus the great physician examine our walk with God

We dont allow him sto search us

I wonder if this is the story of some of our spiritual lives...We are walking ok mostly. But often our walk is not comfortable, it comes with alot of pain and effort (and to be sure true spiritual life comes with these) But what if we reexamined ourselves or rather let Jesus do that through his word.

I learned that the way I was walking could actually be causing long term damage to the cartilidge in my knee...

Are some of our spiritual lives like this? We are walking but painfully. Might it do us good to take some self examiniation of our walk.
