Walking With God Daily

I am going to spit it out-I have come up short with my daily walk with God.  One reason why I created this blog was to have a way to journal about my walk with God and to encourage myself to follow His lead everyday.  Cause lately I have really fallen short.  I am hoping to turn a new leaf and begin reading a devotional in the morning  so I can start walking with Him again!  Right now I feel sort of lost in the shuffle of the mundane routine everyday and I need a way out.  Not only am I feeling convicted about this, but I feel like the devil has had me in a stronghold over this for quite sometime.  

I just haven't made time for a quiet moment with God.  Okay I got it off my chest.

This morning I read Beth Moore's online devotional "Walking With God Daily".  God always knows what you need and when you need it!

"O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you.  Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress."
Isaiah 33:2

How I long for God!  I long for His presence, to know Him, to please Him.  But I am so WEAK.  I have felt weak and have forgotten to ask Him for help.  I have forgotten that I need to follow Him.  I have fallen in the trap of asking God to follow MY ways, hoping he will bless me along MY journey.  I have to constantly remind myself now that I am a follower of Christ it is He who will lead us on the path He has laid for us.  His path is pure and true!  My own path will lead to destruction. 

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.  Then you will call upon me and come pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:11-13

At this moment I know all I need to do is pick up my feet and walk with Him.  Pick up the Bible in the morning and read His Word before I go to work- setting all internal excuses and hindrances aside.  The more I learn from Him in His Word, the more likely I will walk with Him daily.  And let's not confuse consistency with perfection.

 " Walking consistently does not mean walking perfectly. It means we may stumble, but we will not fall!"
Beth Moore

    May I suggest that you stop beating yourself up and start trusting God to be who He is in you. As you walk in that faith He will not let you down.Just believe and out of that the Life will flow. You are precious and perfect and complete in God's sight. Only the enemy would tell you different. The Holy Spirit builds up but satan tries to pull down. Don't listen to that accusing voice.
