You shall not walk

   in their statutes.

You shall

follow My rules and

    keep My statutes

and walk in them.

I am the LORD your God.

...if a person does them,

he shall live by them.

I am the LORD.

     Leviticus 18. 3-5

(Following God and

walking with Him

is going to be and look

       very different.

Oh, what we miss

  by not choosing His way

  and walking with Him.

God changes our journey

and the course

           of our lives.

There is another way

through the chaos

   and difficulties

   and hard stuff.

One step with Him,

and God opens up

    the next step before us.

We need not walk alone.)

O LORD,

We choose to walk

       with You today

on the highlands

    or in the miry bog.

Help us to see

    Your way differently

with willing hearts

and eyes wide open

to the needs all around.

Transform what we see

   as irritations

   and interruptions,

into ministry to others

and opportunities

to love and honor You.

Kindness and compassion

    always bear fruit,

    baskets left over,

       more than enough.

When we walk with You,

You always make

   the journey incredible.

There are no ordinary days

and nothing insignificant.

All for Your glory.
