Lyfe and walking with God

The upper Home Group at Milton Abbas are following a Lyfe Course at the moment. Lyfe (click here to link to website) provides small group sessions 'to help people discover a deeper life with God. Lyfe helps people to grow holistically and to experience a transforming relationship with God through Scripture and spiritual practices that have inspired and sustained Christians throughout the centuries.'
We are a small group and the conversation flows easily. The challenges that are suggested each session are challenging! They certainly make us think about how we live our lives.

Alan keeps up to date with their resources and this was the latest letter to think about:-

Walking with God

Bookshops are filled with biographies of famous people telling us about their amazing lives.

Looking at some of the books available, there seems to be little regard for how long you’ve lived. Apparently, you can tell your life story and still be in your thirties!

I love Enoch’s life story, recorded in Genesis: ‘Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.’ That’s it! We don’t know anything else about his life. What a great way to be remembered.

This phrase is used of other people too – Abraham, Noah, Moses are all said to have ‘walked with God’. I think that walking with God involves a habitual, continual life of love and obedience to God.

Dallas Willard states: ‘We need to become the kind of people who routinely and easily walk in the goodness and power of Jesus our Master.’ This is where the Bible and spiritual practices are so helpful: they help us to stay connected and awake to the presence of God wherever we are and whatever we are doing.

Keep on walking!
