WALKING WITH GOD *Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?* God wants to walk with us but we must be willing to adhere to His instructions to walk with Him. A believer's greatest security is being aware of God's presence in their lives. *Mark 16:19-20* Although the Lord had spoken to the disciples, He continued to work with them because they fulfilled the condition that 'two cannot walk together unless they agree.'" *Genesis 21:9-11 [9] And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing. [10] Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac." [11] And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham's sight because of his son.* Abraham was deeply grieved when Sarah told him to send Ishmael away, and the situation was so contentious that God had to reassure him, promising to make a nation from Ishmael. Though painful, Abraham obeyed because it wasn't God's plan for Ishmael to stay (Genesis 21:14). If we want to walk with God, we must be willing to admit that we are always wrong and God is always right. This is what fearing God means *Genesis 22:1-12* After Ishmael had left, God tested Abraham by telling him to sacrifice to his other son; Isaac. Abraham's heart was broken enough to follow and obey God. Our obedience to God's instructions is proof that we fear Him. If you fear God, the time has come to do whatever He instructs you. *Psalms 62:9, 33:16-17* Where is your confidence and trust? Our aspirations in life must be beyond men because they are all lighter than vapor; we must take our eyes off all that we see and look only unto Jesus. We must reach a place in our hearts where nothing in our lives competes with God. *Psalms 19:13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression.* A presumptuous man trusts in their strength, wisdom, etc. David fought many battles and lost none because he never acted presumptuously. He always consulted God, knowing that anything he did without God would fail. We ought to always consult God as long as we are still on this journey, for it is not within our power to direct our steps. We have not traveled this path before, that is why we need His guidance. *Further study* Romans 1:5 Proverbs 21:31 Jeremiah 10:23 Joshua 3:4 *STAY BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED, WE LOVE YOU.
