To Walk Is To Move Forward! Walking is an activity we can do to maintain physical well-being. Walking minutes daily sharply reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. It also increases your brain power, improves your mood, reduces stress, and can be done anywhere.

To Walk Is To Move Forward! Walking with God is even more important to maintaining our spiritual health. Reading the Bible one hour per day would allow us to read through the entire Bible nearly 5 times per year. Daily prayer allows us to have dialogue with God – not a monologue. Regular worship brings us closer to Him.

Walking Requires Commitment Walking with God requires us to follow Him – not the other way around. Walking with God requires a daily re- commitment in order to please Him. Walking takes wisdom, work, patience, and diligence!

Our Lord walked…while walking with God! It is estimated that Jesus walked at least 21,525 miles during His lifetime. That is about 2 years, 346 days of walking during His 33 years on Earth. He walked in extreme heat, cold, in mountainous terrain, and at peril to Himself and His company.
