Deuteronomy 13:4
"My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me."
FOLLOW: Cleave to, cling, keep close
Psalm 63:8
"My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me."
WALK: Walk after, go with, accompany
Isaiah 30:21
"And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left."
WALK: Conduct my life. walk around, comprehensively
2 John 1:6
"And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it."
Sounds easy, doesn't it? But to walk the walk and talk the talk of being Christian is anything but easy. In point of fact, it's going to be the hardest thing we will ever do. And we can't do this by ourselves. We need God's Holy Spirit to empower us with the ability to not only say "No", but follow through with our actions and not do the things that would separate us from our walk with God.
We just need to Trust God and Believe that God Is and that God's Word is Faithful and True. Then like the psalmist says, we can follow close behind the LORD God. That phrase "follow close behind" means 'stuck like glue'. Think of our walk with God as being superglued to His Word. Nothing comes between us.
Are we following closely after God? When we make time with God a priority in our lives on a daily basis and do so out of a loving heart, a desire to please God, then following God becomes a habit. Once a habit is formed solidly that habit becomes harder to break. I want that habit. Don't you?
