I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living – Psalm 116:9
The LORD is gracious, but experiencing His grace requires that we walk in humility. To walk in humility means we allow the Lord to take the lead, and we follow – this is what it means to walk before the LORD. Jesus walked before the LORD and only did what the Father did (John 5:19). Thus, Jesus imitated the Father and positioned Himself while on earth as a follower and not a leader. Walking before God is not about merely showing signs of devotion (prayer, songs et al) but developing true life changing fellowship with Christ Jesus. When we walk before God, we save ourselves from ungodly trouble and sorrow and mainly experience those trials and tribulations that are a part of fulfilling the calling of God on our lives. Are you walking before the Lord or have you taken the Lord and told God to follow you? When you walk before the Lord, you walk in the glory of the Lord. But when you get ahead of God, then you are relying on His mercy to keep you. Like the Psalmist, you too should choose to walk before the Lord as long as you live.
I will imitate Jesus and walk before God as long as I live
