When Comfort Flows Like a River
How do you understand 'comfort'? Often we think of comfort as the removal of trouble and any obstacle to the ‘comfortable’ life. But God’s comfort is the strength, grace, and encouragement to endure trials in a way that pleases Him. Do you know what it [...]
God wants to walk with us before he works through us.
From the very beginning, the triune God walked with Adam and Eve in the garden in the cool of the day. (Genesis 3:8) A godly man named Enoch walked with God for over three centuries, and then God took him to paradise. (Genesis 5:22-24) Noah and Abraham walked with God in faithful obedience. (Genesis 6:9; 24:40). Abraham is called the “friend” of God (2 Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23), and the Lord spoke to Moses “as a man speaks with his friend” (Exodus 33:11). Jesus names as “friends” those who trust and follow him. He confides his master’s business to those who abide in him and obey the Father (John 15:15).
To abide and obey—this is the purpose of The God Walk.
Friends talk and listen as they walk along the road together. When we read and meditate on the Bible, we are listening to God’s voice and allowing Him to renew our minds, rather than allowing our minds to be shaped by the world. As we learn and respond to what pleases God, we are being “sanctified in the truth,” for His Word is truth (John 17:17). And as we pray, we are responding to God’s voice. Our relationship with the Lord grows ever stronger as we see how our story fits into the grand story of Redemption.
In The God Walk, I hope to spur you on to read the Bible and pray on your own at home. Please look up or click on the references dotted throughout my blogs. Learning to read the Bible is as necessary to our walk with God as fuel is to fire, for it is in the secret place that we learn to live for the face of God– Coram Deo. That is the heart of my devotional blog, The God Walk. I hope you will join me on this journey.
