Walking Me Home

Passing a neighbor’s home; my husband Norm noticed both of their cars parked in the yard. That was nothing out of the ordinary. Yet, he wondered if something was wrong when he saw the elderly couple walking up the road. He assumed they were having car trouble so slowed down as he approached.

Coming alongside our neighbors he stopped; rolled down his window and offered them a ride to town. Smiling, they told him there was no problem. They needed the exercise and were just out for a walk.

Do I need to have a problem before I’ll walk with the Lord?

Am I staying in step or walking only as a last resort?

The Lord walks with me as He leads to my final destination. The road traveled is narrow and often winding with unexpected potholes. I must watch my steps but I trust Him to safely take me home.

“Now Enoch lived sixty-five years, and fathered Methuselah. Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he fathered Methuselah, and he fathered other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were 365 years. Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him (Genesis 5:21-24 NASB).”
