Walk with God.
\nI will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.<\/em>\u00a0 Leviticus 26:12.<\/p>\n

God wants to walk with us.\u00a0 All throughout the Old Testament He was walking with people. Scriptures tell us that Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, and other prophets like Eljah and Elisha all walked with God.\u00a0 In the New Testament, Jesus asked the people to \u201cFollow Me\u201d, and \u201cAbide with Me\u201d.<\/p>\n

This shows us that God obviously wants to have a close, personal relationship with people.\u00a0 He wants to walk and talk with us daily just like He did in the Garden of Eden with Adam.\u00a0 He wants us to follow Him and abide with Him so He can teach us the right way to walk and live, just like Jesus did when He was on earth.
\nThat is why He sent His Holy Spirit to dwell within us, so we can always be in close communication with Him.<\/p>\n

If you are a believer in Christ, give thanks today that God not only walks among you, but that His Holy Spirit dwells within you, and that He will never leave you nor forsake you, for it is His greatest joy to walk with you teaching you His ways and having you follow Him on right paths daily, just as Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Jacob and the Prophets did.<\/p>\n
