Walking with God

A grandfather was discussing with his grandson the implications of Micah 6:8, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” The little boy said, “Grandpa, it’s hard to be humble if you’re really walking with God.” It is an interesting thought coming from a seven-year-old. When we begin to get a glimpse of the unlimited resources at our disposal, Christians claiming the power of God, then will we sense the assurance that we are fully equipped to do whatever it is that God calls us to do.

We might feel like the little mouse that was crossing the bridge with an elephant. When they got to the other side, the mouse looked at his huge companion and said, “Boy, we really shook that bridge, didn’t we?” When we walk with God, that’s often how we feel, like a mouse with the strength of an elephant. After crossing life’s troubled waters, we can say with the mouse, “God, we really shook that bridge, didn’t we?”

Hudson Taylor, the great missionary to China said, “Many Christians estimate difficulty in the light of their own resources, and thus they attempt very little, and they always fail. All giants have been weak people who did great things for God because they lean on God’s power and God’s presence to be with them.” May we move with courage into each new day, no matter what it may bring.

Go with God,
