I was praying this morning, and with God's help came to the conclusion that Christians don't always walk the way they are supposed to. Let me explain, in my favorite version of footprints, it ends with Jesus dancing with the person in the story. It makes me wonder because I always thought that in order to dance you have to first walk. So how can we dance with Jesus if we don't walk with him? The other thing, have you ever seen dancers? They walk with this confidence amd with a gracefulness that makes people look twice. As Christians, we should have that walk. We should have ourselves so deep in Christ, that we know at the end of it all, we are God's children. We should be able to dance with the Lord at all times, even if its just a simple two step. That however only comes after we are so sure in our Walk with him that we feel comfortable enough to step out and be silly for a bit. I don't know about you but I want to dance....
Here's how you become more sure in your walk. You practice. Practice going to God with the little things, so it'll be easy when we need to go to him for the big things. Practice spending more time in study and reflection of the word.... Make it as much of an habit as getting dressed everyday, or even feeding ourselves when we are hungry. Remember Christ told us that man cannot live on bread alone. So if Christ had to say it, what makes you think that we in present day can survive without his word.... Also we have to surround ourselves with people who will help us spiritually, mentally and physically.......... This is how we walk.
