Walking in Faith

Walking as spiritual practice.

Such counsel challenges us because clearly there is something amiss in how we live today. People these days complain of unprecedented busyness. These laments are not merely imaginary. We work more than ever; hours spent on our jobs have been growing steadily in recent decades. But does God intend for us to be constantly torn and tugged in different directions? Could it be that by trying to keep pace with a culture without speed limits we are out of step with the life that God longs for us to have?

Christ calls us as well to stand up and stride today: in faithfulness, in God's purposes, in God's light.

All I could think of when I read this article was my time in the Army. During our "walking" we would take regular breaks and check each others feet. It was our way of making sure we were watching out for each other. There were most assuredly non holy parts of the service but brotherly love was certainly there and seems to be sorely lacking in the church.
