Walking With God

Today, we’re talking about the walk—not the speed walk at the gym, but our daily walk with God. Whether you're tiptoeing, stumbling, or striding, every step matters. And we’ll also look at how we view others' journeys. Sometimes it’s easy to judge someone else’s walk when we don’t know the terrain they’re crossing.

Micah 6:8 (NLT) — “...The Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Walking with God isn’t about having it all together—it’s about showing up each day, even when you’re tired, distracted, or just don’t know which end is up at the moment. Let’s talk about how we make space for God in our everyday lives.

Maybe you picture a peaceful stroll through a meadow when it comes to your walk with God. Or maybe it feels like a daily uphill hike with a backpack full of laundry and bills. Our walk with God is unique, but it should always be consistent—just like drinking water.

Let’s just start small. A quiet prayer while pouring your coffee, while brushing your teeth, or as you drive can be just as powerful as a 30-minute devotion.

We often think big moments define faith, but God loves the small ones too. That five-minute worship jam in the car? Yep. That “Help me, Lord” whispered in the grocery store aisle? Or the big sigh just to release—it all counts.

God isn’t grading your walk—He’s walking with you and just saying, “Remember, I’m right here with you all the time—in the good and the bad.”

From school drop-offs to spreadsheets, life is busy. But you can bring God into every part of it. Invite Him into the ordinary.

Choose one moment each day to pause and say, “God, walk with me through this.”

We all trip up—sometimes over the stupidest things. We all wander and question. Some of us stop for snacks and never get back on the trail for a bit because we just need a long moment. But God doesn’t abandon us when we stumble.

All of that is okay. We all need to work at our own pace, and sometimes that pace is different from day to day.

Have you given yourself grace when your walk feels off track? You should—because we aren’t going to be on top of things all the time.

Not to compare ourselves with others, but now we’re looking outward. Ever feel like someone else is ‘doing faith’ better than you? Or maybe you’ve silently judged someone else’s journey? Let’s flip that script.

Your walk with God isn’t supposed to look like mine. Some folks are barefoot in the wilderness. Others are on a sidewalk in the sunshine. Both are real. Both are unique. And God is never asking for your walk to look like someone else’s.

I know I can find myself comparing to others in many different ways, including my spiritual walk. But I have to remember that this is my walk—not someone else’s. And God will help me through and teach me in the way that is best for me.

Don’t compare your middle to someone else’s highlight reel.

Imagine if we cheered others on like we do marathon runners. “You got this!” “One more mile!” Let’s do that in faith too.

Walking this life with other Christ followers helps boost our confidence and also lets us know we are not alone. God calls us to walk in community, to support others—not compare or hide what we’re walking through.

Who can you encourage in their faith walk today?

It’s tempting to critique someone’s pace. But maybe what they need isn’t correction—it’s company.

Ever feel like everyone else is further ahead? Remember, God’s not in a rush with you. His timing is yours.

Here are a few things to ask and keep in mind as you walk with God:

• Ask God to help you see people through His eyes today.

• Keep in mind that progress isn’t about pace—it’s about presence.

  
  

Micah 6:8 (NLT) — “...The Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Just stay with God—no matter the pace.

So far today, we’ve looked at our own walk and others’ walks—now let’s talk about how we walk together. Faith isn’t a solo hike. It’s a community walk, y’all!

Micah 6:8 (NLT) — “...The Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Faith friends make the journey sweeter. God never meant for us to walk alone. Whether it's a best friend or a neighbor who loves Jesus, find your walking buddies.

This may seem silly or cheesy, but text a friend today and say, “I’m thankful we’re walking with God together.” It will remind them that you’re with them in their journey—and it will help keep that truth in your heart as well.

Some people are in a season to lead; others just need someone to walk beside them. And both are beautiful roles in the body of Christ.

I think sometimes we can feel like we have to keep in front and hold everything together. I know recently I stumbled, and it was because I knew better than to make the mistake I did. I was embarrassed that I made it. But we cannot put the pressure or expectation on ourselves to have it all together all the time. Sometimes, we just need to move to the back of the line and let someone else lead for a bit. There is nothing wrong with sharing the load.

Has someone been a pace-setter for you, or has someone realized you needed help and taken the lead for a bit? Thank God for those people in your life.

If you’re further along in your faith walk, remember what it felt like to be new. Be the person you once needed.

Leadership in faith starts with love, not perfection. Sharing our growth helps others grow and feel like they can and will make it through difficult seasons.

Every day—no matter how messy or magical—you can close it by walking with God in peace.

End tonight with a thank-you prayer and one step of surrender.

Remember this: Whether you’re skipping, crawling, or taking one shaky step at a time, your walk with God is yours—and He’s with you every step of the way. As you look at others around you, walk in grace, not comparison.

Let’s keep showing up daily—step by step.
