The average adult walks 5,000 steps each day. A toddler, however, walks an average of 14 thousand steps, or 2 and a half miles every day. Toddlers may take baby steps, but those small steps cover a lot of distance.
Hi, I’m Maggie Mobley from Sherwood Oaks Christian Church.
People, both young and old, take many steps each day. We walk in our own way, each on a unique journey. Micah 6:8 says “The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must treat people fairly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.”
When you take a walk with someone you don’t go in opposite directions. If you walk in a different direction you can’t listen to them, you can’t share things with them, and you won’t be able to understand what they say. The same thing happens if we don’t walk in the same direction with God.
When you walk in step with the Lord, then you can hear him, and your will is going to align with His will. We want to walk side by side with God so that our focus will be on Him. Henry Ford said “Those who walk with God, always reach their destination.” As you take your steps each day, as you walk from place to place, put your focus on walking humbly with God, by walking in the same direction and in step with Him.
