Walk HIS Way?

Upon entering into the world of blogging, I pondered for quite some time on what I would name my blog. In the fall I started thinking about this, and this weekend I finally decided it was time to start a blog. There have been so many times when I was reading a book, listening to a sermon, or just driving in my car when I thought “I could blog about that.” So, here I am! But, how did I come up with “Walk HIS Way?” Almost two years ago I met a lovely person by the name of Sarah Murphy in a women’s bible study through our church.  Sarah discipled me for two years and met with me each week to study the Word. I learned so much from Sarah and will forever be grateful for the time she took to invest in me (her family moved to D.C. recently). In one of our appointments she shared a verse with me that I have adopted as my life verse. It is Micah 6:8, “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Shortly after Sarah shared this verse with me I began to ask myself what does this look like in our walk with God, specifically what does it mean to walk humbly with Him. I am most certainly not a bible scholar,  and I am sure that ”walking humbly with God” entails many different things, but this is what the Lord has shown me thus far. To walk humbly with God means a daily surrender of my self-centered will to His good and perfect will. A daily walk of trusting in and becoming more dependent upon God and dying to myself and my pride.   A stripping away of all self-reliance so that the Lord can use me for His purposes.  Now, this is not something I have fully attained, but  it is my desire that in this life you and I would strive to do justice, love kindness, and WALK humlby with God. Why “Walk HIS Way?” One reason is because of my life verse, but also because the Bible addresses the topic of walking over 20 times. Colossian 1:10 says, “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” Psalm 84:11 says, “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.”  You see the Lord speaks clearly  in His Word on how we should walk. And it is my upmost desire to “Walk HIS Way!”
