The Lord walks beside me as my
companion in my journey in this life. He
keeps me company through all my days as we share our lives and He helps me
understand Who He is and His Word while I’m here in this mortal flesh.
-Jesus walks with two disciples: “Then
they asked each other, "Our hearts kept burning within us as he was
talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us, didn't they?” Lk. 24:32 ISV
-…you were called to the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our
Lord. 1Cor. 1:9
The Lord walks beside me as my
friend supporting me on this journey when I am struggling to walk on my
own. His strength and encouragement keep
me going.
-He gives power to the faint, and
to him who has no might he increases strength. Is. 40:29 ESV
-No longer do I call you
servants, for the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called
you friends… Jh. 15:15
The Lord walks, carrying me in
His strong arms as a Shepherd when the path becomes too dangerous or when I’m
so tired, hurt or broken that I can’t even move.
-He shall feed His flock like a
shepherd; He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom… Is. 40:11
-…and I'll carry you even until
your gray hairs come. It is I who have created, and I who will carry, and it is
I who will bear and save. Is. 46:4 ISV
The Lord walks with His arm
around me like a lover, holding me tight beside Him in the safety of His loving
arms.
-For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I have espoused
you to one Man, to present you as a pure
virgin to Christ. 2Cor. 11:2
-LORD, do not withhold
your mercy from me, for your gracious love and truthfulness will keep me safe
continuously... Ps. 40:11 ISV
The Lord walks before me to lead
me in the way I should go, to find a place of rest for me, to clear the way and
fight the enemy that may stand in the way.
-And the Lord went before them by
day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way… Ex. 13:21
ESV
-The LORD your God is the One who
will be going ahead of you. He'll fight for you just as he did in Egypt
before your eyes. Dt. 1:30
-who walked ahead of you along
the way to scout a place for you to pitch camp…
Dt. 1:33
The Lord walks behind me as a
rear guard to protect and as a light to help me see the path ahead.
-…and by night in a pillar of
fire to give them light… Ex. 13:21 ESV
-Later on Jesus spoke to them
again, saying, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will
never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Jh. 8:12
-…and the glory of the LORD will
guard your back. Is. 58:8 ISV
(not walking, but…)
The Lord watches over me because He loves me,
and He is open to hearing my prayers.
-Jehovah watches over all
those who love Him… Ps. 145:20
-For the eyes of the Lord are
on the righteous, and His ears open to
their prayers… 1Pt. 3:12
There is one place the Lord does
not walk. He does not walk all over us to harm us, squash us down or force us
to do things His way out of fear of His retaliation. The Lord is
only good- all the time. "You are good, and do good…" Ps. 119:68
praise Jehovah; for Jehovah is good…
Ps. 135:3
