walk with God

Read Psalm 23

Intimacy with Christ is not a ticket to the high road; it’s a ticket to His road. His road may be bumpy, winding, and full of unfamiliar road signs. As we grow closer to Jesus, we discover His road is the only true road. And, more important than the road is Who walks by our side. Our Savior walks closely by our side. Leading us down the path, He is intimately in love with us, focused on us, and aware of the bumps in our day. Without question, He is more concerned with the depth of our relationship than the condition of our road. As we grow in our love for Him, and listen for His heartbeat, our focus becomes the same as His. Though the bumps and potholes come, He is there. Not as a rabbit’s foot to bring us sunny days, but an intimate friend for eternity.
