Walk with Jesus Again

I'm unceasingly amazed at how easily I forget the simple pleasure of walking with Jesus.

With so many things to draw my attention elsewhere I find myself too often lacking in the solidarity of focus to keep my eyes on Christ. The temptation is always to look around for other amusements - friends, jobs, family, even ministry. These things are not in and of themselves bad, in fact, they all have potential to cause me to walk more closely with Christ as they have consistently in the past. But these things are not Christ. And the replacing of Christ in my life with these things is nothing short of adultery against the only unfailingly eternal lover of my soul.

So again I'll ask the Lord to once again change the way I praise. That I might be diligent to draw equally near to Him on Monday morning as much as Sunday morning. That I would renew the investment of my affections in Christ on a daily basis. That I would rejoice daily in my salvation and in the One who gave all to gain it. That I might surrender daily to living a life of Worship that glorifies Christ. There is no greater calling than the calling to walk with Jesus.

"Whom have I in heaven but You, and there is nothing on earth I desire besides You. Though my flesh and my heart may fail, God is the strength of my life and my Portion forever."
-Psalm 73:25-26
