CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
What Does A Walk With God Look Like?
Have you ever wondered what taking a walk with God would be like? What would he want to talk about? How often would he glance at you as you walked along a path? What would it be like to have Him in your presence? Would it be comforting? Scary? Terrifying? Wonderful? Would God be gazing at nature as He walked along with you? What would you want to say to Him? What would you want to ask Him? What if he touched you? What would that be like?
In the Bible, we read of those who are awestruck in the presence of God. They fall to their knees before Him. Yet we also read of God being the great Comforter, the great Physician, the rock upon which we can lean and rest.
The Bible teaches us that God is always with us. He is omnipresent. As we walk along in our journey of life, He is there. So if He is truly there, why not talk to him? Why not ask Him what He is thinking? Why not talk to Him about both the beauty and ugliness you see in this world. Why not ask Him for his strong and steady hand? Why not lead on him like he is your father, your Heavenly father?
I got the idea for this message when I was listening to Careless (Shawn Slate) deliver a sermon at Redeemer Church of Knoxville. He talked about taking walks with his wife. He commented that he tends to walk with a fast pace, rushing ahead, wanting to hurry up and get to whatever the destination is. His wife, meanwhile, walks much more slowly, not so rushed, wanting to gaze at the scenery, the world around her. Careless said he has learned more about walking with God by walking with his wife. He has learned to slow the pace, take time to see the beauty of God’s world, and also take time to talk to the woman he loves and married.
I want to spend more time walking with God. I need to take the time to do that with a slower pace in mind. I need to truly focus on Him better when doing so, actually think of Him being in my presence, truly there with me. When I pray, I need to think of Him reaching out to touch me. It may raise some hairs on my head but it will also bring me closer to Him. That’s what He wants. And, when I think about it, that’s what I want to. Furthermore, isn’t that what YOU WANT? Use your imagination if you have to at first. Expand your thoughts, think of Him with you, walking beside you. Slow your pace for a while and converse with God.
