Talk as You Walk, Grow as You Go
Talk as You Walk, Grow as You Go
I love walking. Apparently, it is one of the best forms of physical exercise. Of course, walking is also a means, and for some people their only means, of transport.
Walking for whatever reason is more enjoyable with someone else. Walking and talking is a great way to communicate with family, friends and also with God.
The point is that we are doing two things at the same time. We are not just taking exercise or travelling. As we walk together we are in communion with one another. Both Enoch and Noah ‘walked with God’
24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.
They didn’t just sit, kneel or stand with God (the kind of actions we would often associate with spending time with God), but they were also in communion with God when doing something else.
While you are doing other things – working, eating, exercising or relaxing – you can be in communion with God at the same time.
Personally, I also find it the best way to pray.
After reading the Bible each day, I go out and walk around our local park – which is almost deserted early in the morning. I note down anything I sense the Holy Spirit saying as I pray.
You can pray as you walk to the bus stop or walk between meetings during the day. Talk as you walk.
The Bible has a great deal to say about walking with God. It is how you were intended to live. God’s desire for you is that you walk humbly in a relationship with him
8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
This is what Jesus has made possible – for you to walk as Jesus did
6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
You may stumble from time to time, but one day you will walk with him ‘dressed in white’
4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
