People who want to feel better, reduce stress, and shed unwanted pounds are discovering that walking may be the best exercise of all. A fitness philosophy of 10,000 steps a day, which first took hold in Japan, is gaining popularity in other countries. Experts advise starting slowly and working toward a higher goal, realizing each day that every step counts.
It’s even more important to stay spiritually fit by "walking with God", which the Bible describes as an intimate, growing relationship with the Lord. "Enoch walked with God three hundred years" (GENESIS 5:22). "Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God" (6:9). Both men are mentioned in HEBREWS 11, where they are commended for their faith. "Enoch . . . had this testimony, that he pleased God" (v. 5). "Noah . . . became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith" (v. 7).
To walk with God, we need to keep in step without running ahead or lagging behind. Along the way, we walk with the Lord, listen to Him, and enjoy His presence. We trust His guidance when we cannot see what lies ahead. It is not just the destination that’s important, but the journey we take together.
There’s no better time than now to begin walking with God, because each day every step counts. – David Mccasland
Knowing God will take a lifetime,
Walking with Him day by day,
Learning all we can about Him,
Loving Him in every way. – Sper
