Those who wait on the Lord . . . shall walk and not faint —Isaiah 40:31
I call this blog “Nick’s Walk” because it really is all about walking. Once we have come to Jesus, once we have decided to follow Him, it’s all about walking. Walking is the tough part. The daily putting of one foot in front of the other, not just in front of the other, but in the direction He leads, is Christianity. It’s not what we do on Sunday or what we put in a blank on a form. It’s every step we take.
Sometimes we think we have to take the next step because it’s time to move on. This verse reminds us that the key is waiting on the Lord, not making a move, not taking a step until He says to do so. Our walk is a demonstration of our character.
There is nothing abstract or obscure in the Bible; everything is vivid and real. God does not say, “Be spiritual,” but He says, “Walk before Me. . .” ( Genesis 17:1 ).
In order to walk successfully, we need to keep the Lord before us continually. We learn to know He is before us by our experience in stepping when we believe we hear Him and thereafter, knowing it was Him, that our step was right. We will know when the step is wrong. He never fails to tell us.
Just keep on walking and
Be blessed.
Nick.
