Day 216: Walk With Me

Colossians 2:6

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,

Micah 6:8

He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?

One of the best things about life is doing it with someone else. It’s a great feeling to share your experiences and special moments with someone. I think that’s why marriage is so beautiful and sacred. We get to spend the rest of our lives sharing it with someone else. It’s beautiful. It’s amazing. What if we treated our relationship with God the same way. We get to walk through life with God. He’s always there with us, leading us, guiding us, and experiencing this beautiful life with us. We get a chance to  not only spend eternity with God but to spend our lives with Him, here on Earth. It’s like having someone with you everywhere you go holding your hand. It’s just that that someone is God and He does much more than anyone else could ever do.

Genesis 5:24

Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

Genesis 6:9

These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.

The Scriptures say these men walked with God. They lived blameless lives before Him. Now these aren’t the only people in the bible noted for their faith and walking with God, but I love that the scripture says they walked with Him. I’m not sure how many of you know the stories of these men, but they were known for their faith and obedience to God, as was Abraham, Moses, Paul, Isaiah, Jeremiah, the list goes on and on. They gave their lives to God and was dedicated to following Him and walking with Him all the days of their lives.

We are called to be in unity with God that’s our true calling. To walk with God, that’s why we're are here on this earth. When we walk with God the way we view the world and our lives change. When we walk with God we are close to everything we could ever need or want. When we walk with God, we don’t have to reach that far to get to Him. Walking with God means being in unity with Him. We can learn lessons from many people in the Bible about what it looks like to walk with God and what it looks like to try to live outside of His will.  

What I'm trying to get at here is pretty simple. We are meant to live our lives with God. If we want to do anything in this life and in this world worth something walk with God. When we walk with God he will lead us on a path of glory. He will take us where we need to go to get us where He wants us to be. There will be some valleys, and hiccups along the way but He’s right there with us. He never leaves us, He will never leave us. Ever! The only time we are separated from god is when we do it ourselves. Don’t walk away from God, walk with Him. Live with Him. Stay close to Him, that’s where we need to be. Right where God is.

Response/ Prayer Time

Take the time to respond to what we talked about today. Talk to God about what it means to walk with Him, to submit your life to Him and walk with Him all the days of your life.

If you haven’t submitted your life to Christ and would like to, now's the chance. If you would like to rededicate your life to Christ, now’s the chance to do so. If that’s you, if you want to make that decision today, pray this prayer with me.

Jesus I declare that you are my Lord and Saviour who died for my sin and was raised three days later. I repent of my sins and I give my life to you. I believe in my heart that you are the true living God. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name, Amen.

If you made the choice to follow Christ, rededicate, or to submit your life to Him fully, Go to Romans 10:9-10

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

I love you, congratulations to those of you who have decided to follow or rededicate your life to Christ today. THe next step would be getting plugged into a church and a small group if possible. If you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to contact me.

I love you and I hope you have an amazing day! Be sure to share this with someone and come back tomorrow for Day 217!
