Getting Into God's Stride
Genesis 5:24
“Enoch walked with God.”
Key Passages
The test of a man's religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on.
The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.
It is difficult to get into stride with God, because when we start walking with Him we find He has outstripped us before we have taken three steps.
It was said of Jesus, “He shall not fail nor be discouraged”, because He never worked from His own individual standpoint but always from the standpoint of His Father, and we have to learn to do the same.
God's Spirit alters the atmosphere of our way of looking at things, and things begin to be possible which never were possible before.
Getting into stride with God means nothing less than union with Himself.
It takes a long time to get there, but keep at it. Don't give in because the pain is bad just now, get on with it, and before long you will find you have a new vision and a new purpose.
My Own Thoughts
Dear Father, I want to be on stride with you. You've outstripped me by more than 3 steps thats for sure. I want that new vision and new purpose Lord. Make me into the person you want me to be whether it be in the ordinary times or the exceptional times.
