Walk With Me During The Wilderness In My Life

Read John 14:15-19

Jesus said, "I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:20

When the road gets tough to walk alone, many times we hear the call to 'walk that walk' with our friends and colleagues or we call a friend ourselves for that helpful hand. Sometimes, the calls from others come at just the wrong time, but nothing is more important to the person who calls than to have you 'walk the walk' with them at that moment – not later – THEN.

It doesn't matter what situation prompts the request for that wilderness walk, but what is important is that we willingly hold out our arms and take the hand of the caller and start walking their wilderness walk with them. Jesus promised to be with us always – we know he will see us through those wilderness journeys (our own or others), but sometimes He speaks through us to others. At that moment and time, as an 'other', is when we hold out our hand in a loving manner to the one in need and begin their wilderness walk with them.

Prayer: Thank you Dear Lord for being with us as we walk those wilderness journeys whether they are own or journeys with others in need. Help us to always be ready to extend our hands and arms to those in need and guide us to allow you to speak through us.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Have you heard a call to walk the walk with someone in need?
What did you so about that call from their wilderness?
