Walking with God

 A close walk with the Lord is an important part of a believer's life.

Levitictus 26:12

The Lord said, "I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people."

- The Bible tells us that maintaining a close walk with God is a command we must obey, not merely a suggestion we may want to consider.

Genesis 17:1

I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless.

- Health professionals suggest that people who want to become physically fit should try a consistent program of walking. Sustained walking several times a week will improve your muscle tone and strengthen your heart. The bible reassures us that our lives will also reap benefits when we are consistent in walking with the Lord.

Isaiah 33:15-16

He who walks righteously and speaks what is right... This is the man who will dwell on the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. His bread will be supplied, and water will not fail him.

- Walking closely with God can change the way we are. From the way we think and eventually how we act.

Proverbs 16:3

Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.
