Daily Delight

Moonlit strolls on the beach may sound sweet, but not to me.  Have you ever seen what comes out of the sand and water when it’s dark.  Well, I have and ain’t nothing romantic about it!

A faithful walk with Christ is my pick!  It’s His choice, too!  Very few people “stroll” through life: life-at-light-speed better describes us.  Most of us know exactly what time we need to be in the car, out the driveway, and what drivers we hope to avoid … because they drive the speed limit. The psalmist pictures a more docile and gentle way, “He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” (Psalm 23:2,3)  God knows we travel an unsure path and offers surety – what relief to a rough way.  He knows well the shadows that lurk so He leads the way – how comforting in fearful times.  He remembers the feelings of weariness so He carries the heavy load – what rest throughout a restless journey.  Besides sitting in the swing with Mr. Bill, a nice stroll on the beach sounds delightful … during the daylight, of course.  A deliberate and diligent daily walk with Christ helps develop a habitual faith making God’s unseen presence very real.  Honestly, strolls on the beach are few and far between but a daily walk with Christ is a daily delight!
