"Walk with me." That's the command I give my little miniature dachshund, Buddy, when I take him with me on a walk. You see, he just doesn't stay with me unless I put him on the lead. He goes to the left, to the right and runs ahead of me and doesn't understand that those big vehicles on Cypress Lake Road would leave less than a little greasy spot if they hit him. I keep him with me to try to teach him to stay on the pathway beside the road ... all for his safety. But I find myself saying that phrase over and over because he pulls on the lead so hard trying to go his own way that he chokes himself and starts coughing. When that happens he looks up to me as if to say, "why are you making it so hard on me?"
I wonder how many times God has to remind us, "walk with me." Do you find yourself choking on His lead? When I look to the heavens and shout "why are you making it so hard on me" I'm reminded of my little Buddy and do a self check to see if I'm pulling on God's lead. O how I long to learn to walk in His paths - without that lead!! What about you?
Psalm 119:34-35 KJV
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
