Walk
I’m told that walking is good exercise. I do walk….occasionally. I walk from my chair to my car or from my office to my car. 🙂 I actually should walk a lot more than I do. I remember when I was 20 years of so younger that I ran at least 3 miles a day. I remember hearing how bad that was on my knees. Once I got out of the habit, I never picked it up again. I’m not afraid of walking – I know it’s good for me. I just get too focused on all that needs to be done and leave out the exercise regimen that I need. Since I’m in decent shape, I don’t think about walking that much, but I do walk daily a good bit each day. I enjoyed reading this Psalm as it reminded me of my spiritual walk. Check this out….
1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him. 2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. 4 Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord. 5 May the Lord bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. 6 May you live to see your children’s children— peace be on Israel. (Psalm 128:1-6 NIV)
I believe my spiritual walk to be way more important that physical walking. What good will it be if I’m in great physical shape, but die not knowing the Lord. I want to keep the main thing (my walk with the Lord) the main thing. I want to walk every day in obedience to Him. I want to consult with Him every single day about decisions I make. I want His Wisdom in my every day “walking around life”. I do need to physically walk more, but I want the physical walking to flow out of my spiritual walking.
