Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
To walk: is and Old English term that means “to roll.”
I love this image. When you think of something rolling….it is in continuous motion…fluid and constant. I read recently that the word “walk” in the bible is often a reflection or an expression of one’s character. As we walk with the Lord, it should be a continual process, fluid and constant. He desires a relationship that resembles that of walking not only in the physical but also in the spiritual. One is dependent upon the other. God’s breath, his Holy Spirit is constantly hovering about us-all we have to do is inhale it’s life giving power every day. It is there that we find all we need for the abundant life.
