“The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory.”

A few weeks ago someone who I am doing work with suggested that instead of meeting over a cup of coffee that we instead go for a walk with each other and go through our business while we were walking. This was not the first time I had done walking meetings as I have worked with/for people who do this regularly, and I also have used walks for meetings with people who worked for me. But, what I used to do with a walk was to use it to help diffuse a situation or just change the venue to clear the heads in involved. What I found in this most recent walk was that instead of having some ulterior motive that just being outside stimulated some creativity. Maybe it was the extra oxygen to my brain or just the beauty of the day, but there was a freeing that came with the time. Patti and I went for a walk last week and she had a bunch of stuff for us to cover off on. I may get addicted to the walking meeting.

As believers we get the wonderful opportunity to walk with Christ each and every day. He walks with us through our workday and beyond, if we allow Him to do so. What is so great about our walk with Christ is that the walk goes well beyond the life we have here on earth. Walks are made up of steps and each step that we take towards our eternity should be deliberate and worthwhile. As we start this workweek, let’s pray that each step of our walk will be ones that are pleasing to God and that we do not lose our way but walk within His will at all times.
