“For in Him we live and move and have our being” Acts 17:28
Walking with God is about developing a personal and intimate relationship with the living God. It is seeking God out with a deep and sincere interest to please Him.
It takes a lot of practice to walk with God. This is because God doesn’t think or act like you. You can’t understand God through the scholarly approach or intellectual insights.
You learn spiritual truth by becoming linked to God through His Spirit. You will learn about the personality of God and understand His feelings. You will find out God is controversial and sometimes unpredictable.
Many times your standards of right and wrong will not align with God. You will find out that God judges you by your heart and not so much by your actions. He will cause you to examine your motives in decision making and all your actions.
The priority with God is always about your faith in Him. Are you living in the invisible world of faith and trusting Him and not your circumstances? He wants you to trust Him implicitly with every detail of your life and not compromise with the ways of the world.
If you are just dangling your feet in the water and holding back from taking a plunge, God will engineer challenges in your life to get your attention and to cause you to lean on Him. He wants you to dive in and hold nothing back.
God will work on the seriousness of your commitment until you are free from self and willing to follow Him regardless of the cost to you.
He is looking to find anything you value more than Him. There is no individuality or privacy with God. Your life must be an open book to Him.
God wants to give you an abundant life but He also wants you to understand and appreciate that He is the source of all good things. Never take credit for the successes in life. They belong to Him.
