I love shoes. I like black ones, white ones, navy ones, any color ones, but especially red ones. Red ones really make me feel great. Although I’ve been told “you should never wear red shoes”, I just feel wonderful when I wear red shoes. Yes, I love shoes.
Lately the Lord has blessed me with some new shoes that are too wonderful for words. Just what I’ve been needing for so long.... shoes for my always-in-pain feet. I am so grateful and ever thankful for His gift to me. Once again He has provided for my need according to His glorious riches in Christ. He just showers His love on me in so many ways. I am grateful and humbled.
With comfortable new shoes I’ve been thinking at lot lately about walking with the Lord. That seems to be a theme in His dealings with me recently. Even though I was saved in 1976, I never really began an increasingly intimate relationship with Him until 1993. Seventeen years is a long time to walk with Him in a lukewarm relationship. Yes, I was active in church all those years, but was not even certain of my own salvation during that time. Only when I attended Bible Study Fellowship and delved deeply into His Word did I grow closer and closer to Him. It’s amazing what He does when you seek Him with all your heart. Something only HE can do.
The more I think about walking with the Lord, the more I desire to go deeper with Him. I keep thinking about Enoch who “walked with God; then he was no more...” (Gen. 5:24) Enoch walked so closely to God that he simply walked into Heaven with God and didn’t think it strange. He kept his eyes on the Lord and stayed close to Him... a closer walk with the Lord. I’ve found myself in recent years praying that the Lord would keep my eyes on Him and keep me close to Him. I desire a deeper walk with Him. While I know He will answer my prayers, I cannot imagine where that walk will take us. By faith and by His grace I will follow Him wherever He leads me, trusting that He knows what is best for me. My Abba Father will take good care of me along the journey. He is faithful.
