Life Long Walk

There are times that I reflect on what it would be like to be 14 years old again. I even think back to what I was doing around that age. Then there’s the high school or drama, then off to college, work, marriage and children. In some ways, life has really flown by. I still have the same hands, legs, eyes, ears…body, even though it’s aged a bit since I was really young. If I knew back then what I know now, I have a feeling today would look a bit different. As I reflect to age 14, I remember wanting to serve the Lord in some way. I remember feeling called at age 18 to serve in ministry. As I read from the prophet Isaiah this morning, I was reminded why this life-long walk with the Lord is so important. Check this out….

My journey with the Lord has meandered through some pretty dark places. He has never left me or abandoned me. I feel like I’ve left Him too many times, but His love is relentless for me. His way keeps calling me back. I can’t begin to imagine living my life without Him leading the way.

I woke up early this morning without the help of an alarm clock. I am so drawn to Him in the morning so that my day can be lived out in a steady and level fashion. I want to honor Him with my decisions and the activities of my day. If I’m reflecting on my life in another 20 years or so, I hope that I can still have such clarity on walking with Him each day.
