I have had such a good week, HOT, but good!!
I have been learning so much from the scriptures. If someone ever asked me what to do to get a TON out of one chapter in the book of Mormon, I would tell them to pick one topic that interests them and read just looking for that one thing. This week I have been reading all of the scriptures I can about "walking with God" What a subject!! Many of the ancient prophets "walked with God" and I have always been intrigued by that. What does that mean? At times I have felt like I was "walking with God" and at others, I have felt like I was walking on my own. When I have felt that I was walking with God, I can constantly feel the Holy Ghost, and I feel as though my decisions are based on the will of The Lord. When I feel like I am walking alone, I am always confused as to where I should go, asking "is this my will or the will of God". When I feel that I am walking with God, I have a sure knowledge that the course I am pursuing is pleasing unto him. I can excercise true faith, going to God with integrity in my prayers, knowing that God has said "I the Lord am bound when ye do what I say, but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise". When I feel that I am not walking with God, I can feel the lack of power that comes with the lack of that promise.
In my reading this morning, I came across Alma 7: 20&21. It says that "God does not walk in crooked paths; neither doth he carry from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left, or from that whigh is right to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round"
I learned that God can't walk with us if our paths are not straight. If our paths ARE straight though, we will be walking with him no matter what.
Ok gotta go. Love you.
