My
friends, what a way for us to be reminded of the fact the future is uncertain.
It seems no one was prepared for the curveball of the government shutdown. So,
what are we to do to prepare for the unforeseen curveballs that lie ahead of us?
One thing I recommend is to exercise our faith in the Lord and make up our
minds to walk with God every day.
Why is walking with God so important? I am glad you asked. Allow me to
answer the question out of my own experience. My new friend Debbie and I met
over a year ago. The similarities in our personalities drew us together. Having
just met we didn't know much about one another. One day Debbie suggested we
meet after work at the park close by my job to walk together each evening. It
was during those walks that we began to learn about one another and getting to
know each other better, we became close friends to this day. Understand this, when
you walk side-by-side with someone obviously you walk in the same direction
together. Without evening trying you align your steps with the steps of your
walking partner. Whenever Debbie would turn, I would turn. When she slowed her
steps, I slowed mine and vice-versa. Thusly, when we walk with the Lord each day,
we align our steps and our wills with the will of God.
