Who are your top five closest friends? Have you ever thought that those you spend the most time with determine your direction? And your direction determines your destination. When Consumed By Fire sings “Walk With Jesus,” we are reminded that we are better off following in Christ’s footsteps.
What does it mean to walk with Jesus? Let’s explore Scripture together.

This Week’s Challenge
This is the perfect week to download the Episode Guide because I have listed all the Scriptures I reference that reveal the metaphor of walking throughout the Old Testament. Then, start in 1 John and let it lead you to John 15 and Colossians 2 to explore abiding and walking with Jesus. Finally, spend some time in the beginning chapters of Proverbs with your antenna up for walking, paths, and ways, and see what you can learn from there. And if your feet are currently on the wrong path, consider this your “exit ahead” sign to get off the path you’re on and join hands with the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Choose today to walk with Jesus.
