 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Hold up Prodigal!\u00a0 I want to walk with you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I would like to have someone to walk with while I get my daily exercise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I just finished reading Anne Graham Lotz The Magnificent Obsession and I wanted to share.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If we want to walk with God, we must walk in His direction, which means we must surrender the will of our life to Him.\u00a0 We can’t go off in our own direction, deciding our own goals and pursuing our own purposes.\u00a0 And we must walk at His pace, which means step-by-step obedience to His Word.\u00a0 And since we would have no idea what steps He is taking on a particular day, we have to read and apply His Word on a daily basis so we can walk at His pace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One thing I have discovered is that God won’t adjust His pace or direction to suit me.\u00a0 I have to adjust my pace and direction to His if I want to walk with Him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You want to speed walk right now.\u00a0 You think how can we every get there at this pace?\u00a0 God wants us to slow down.\u00a0 This is not just about the destination.\u00a0 This is about he journey.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Come near to God and He will come near to you.<\/p>\n

James 4:8<\/p>\n
