An Intimate Walk


“...the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.

 And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

Romans 8:15b





We are His children and He is our Father.

He longs for us to know Him and trust Him as the loving Father that He is.

Imagine if all we had was the written Word of God but never had the opportunity to walk with Him daily in intimate fellowship.

It would be like a person who never met his natural father but could only read about him in a book written by the father.

While he might treasure that book, even as we treasure His book, how he would long for opportunities to spend time with his father and get to know him by walking and talking with him every day.

Our walk with the Lord need not be limited to the pages of the Bible, as precious as those pages are!

He has put His Spirit in us and we can walk with Him and talk with Him moment-by-moment.

Don’t just learn of your Father through the Book, learn of Him as you walk by His side and talk with Him.

Learn to let Him speak and to guide you in His ways.

Yes, His Word is to be honored but His presence is made available to each of His children too!
