In other words, we “walk” with them, enjoying their company and sharing our lives. The same is true with God. Because He is with us, we can turn to Him in prayer at any moment, sharing our concerns and expressing our love for Him. We also can listen to Him, as we read His Word, the Bible, and hear others preach and teach from it.
No wonder God commanded that we walk with Him. Doing so means we are moving forward in step with Him, confident that the way He is leading is best. Now many people ask God to walk with them as they sprint through life, never consulting Him in prayer or by reading the Bible—God’s roadmap to life. We often do this because we are weak.
Walking with God is to follow His Word found in the Bible. Walking with God means to fellowship with Him in prayer and listen to His voice. Walking in the Spirit means being led and directed by His Holy Spirit. God has not only promised to be with us in the good times; He has promised to be with us through difficult times.
I’m thankful you want to walk with God—because He wants to walk with you! He wants to assure you that He is always with you, and He also wants to talk with you—and you with Him. Look at it this way.

Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6:9). “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him” (Colossians 2:6).
The narrow road means to stand strong for Christ. It is not always easy, but it is right and blessed by God. When we find ourselves standing at a crossroads, we gaze into the faces of those living for popularity and self-pleasure. That road leads to Hell. Consider the journey and choose the way of the Lord—the narrow path.

The psalmist declared, “Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving” (Psalm 147:7, NIV). Paul wrote, “Be thankful” (Colossians 3:15, NIV). A spirit of thanksgiving is always the mark of a ...
Get into a routine. Set aside at least 10 minutes a day to read the Bible. It might mean getting up a little earlier or finding a quiet spot away from everyday distractions. Maybe you read it with a cup of coffee, during your lunch break or before bed. Set a time and stick to it.
