You do have one you know – everyone has a walk. Our choice is who we walk with… Even those of you who deny who Jesus is and what He’s done have a walk. If you haven’t made Jesus Lord of your life then your walk is merely a walk – somewhat meaningless. Without heaven as the destination, as a goal, then a walk becomes a meander. And there is only one way to heaven.
A walk is never in a straight line. It can easily be one step forward and two steps back or a side step or two. It’s uphill and downhill. Sometimes it feels like you’ve been in the place you currently are before… you probably have, but missed something or forgot something you need to know.
In church-ese, walk is an important concept. We are to walk by faith (2Corinthians 5:7), walk in love (Ephesians 5:2), and properly (Romans 13:13). And those are only some of the instructions. But, walk is critical because it speaks of your behavior – it isn’t just words. While your words tell us what you want us to believe, your behavior is what you believe.
Your walk is also very visible and tells others a great deal. And yes, you can mis-step but the essence is always revealed because it is reinforced. Who you are is displayed in your walk. What you believe is acted on in your walk. The depth of your conviction is demonstrated in your walk. And all of that is seen multiple times – it is not a one time only. It is the repetition that speaks to the validity. Walk is an act that always occurs. The point is… what kind of walk is yours?
