How can two walk
together except they agree? First there is a decision to go on the journey with
the company or companion. Secondly, its not all about the destination, but
about the journey. You actually take the time to make the most of the company
you keep by intimate communion. Communication goes two ways its the act of
talking and listening. Often times we want to be heard, to get our point
across, but do we actually listen? If were truly listening it will reflect in
our actions, decisions, and behavior. Lastly, in order to have a productive
experience focus is key. Distractions will surely come, however the question is
do we allow them to keep us from the matter at hand? Sometimes when on the
journey with someone we come to realize whats important and whats not, as well
as the decision to let somethings go that keep us from that precious time
shared by prioritizing.
The thought of a
journey with someone came to me on this morning when reading about Enoch in the bible. Enoch walked with God until he was not for God took him.
Just the thought of he walked with God is a powerful statement. When
you're walking with someone it means you are not alone. Let that sink in for a
moment, in walking with God we are not alone. There are many scriptures
recorded in which God promises his people that he will never leave and he
pledges his undying love which shows his commitment to relationship,
because relationship is important to God.
Who are you
walking with? I encourage you to take inventory of your relationships.
Develop, maintain, build, and cherish the time that you have with your
companions including husbands, wives, children, siblings, friends, all walks of
life, and most importantly with the Lord. Allow your relationships to exemplify
the love of God. It's not easy, however it's necessary and well worth the work.
It is possible to walk with God and maintain wholesome and healthy
relationships, because knowing and acknowledging that the relationship within
is an extension from God is the key to maintaining. Go with God
in 2014!
