My Walk With God

     

        I have recently thinking about my walk with God.  Now, I am not talking about me and God going out and taking a walk together.  I am talking about my relationship with God.

      I know I am saved but I seem to have gotten away from that close walk with God.  I started thinking what had changed,where was God?  God is right there where He always has been and always will be.  I am the one who has walked away.  I have changed.  I am tired, I am busy, I have so much to do.  My prayers are sent towards heaven even as I am headed in another direction.  I read my bible but it is usually as I am teaching school or hoping I don't fall asleep before I get done.  I have walked away.  

     This is the view down my street.  As I go out each day I have a choice if I go left or right and the direction I choose will determine where I end up.  As we walk through life we have choices about direction too.  We can go right and follow God or go wrong and not be where we need to be.  When we are not walking in the direction of God, what can we do to change directions?

   I know for me it is to prioritize and slow down.  I commit to too much, make excuses, and let myself get overwhelmed and I get off on the wrong turns and path.  The things I know that have helped me in the past to have a better walk is this:

1. Pray before I get out of bed
2.  Read my bible every day, make it a priority, not rushed and not how much but how read
3.  Pray all throughout the day
4. Pray when I go to bed
5.  Be still long enough to hear the Voice of God and where He would have me walk.

    Where are you walking and are you satisfied with your walk?  If not, it might be time for changes.  I will be checking back in from time to time to let ya'll know where I am on my walk.  I would love to hear where you are too.

Until next time,

Pat
