"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"
Amos 3:3 (NKJV)
Recently, when I was out for a walk, I saw a two other people walking. These were people I had seen before, and it seemed to me that they were probably husband and wife. But, in this recent time when I saw them, they were not walking together. The man, presumably the husband, was walking about five feet in front of the woman, who I took to be his wife. But for some reason on this day, they were not walking together. It made me wonder what had happened that they did not want to near each other, and I hoped that it was not some permanent problem.
In the Bible, our life and relationship with God is compared to, and even called, a walk. And our walk with God should be with God, not separated from Him. Sometimes Christians talk about how they do not feel as close to God as they once did, but God is not changing, and if anyone has moved, it is certainly not Him. It should be that what we do in our life is done in unison with God, and that we walk along with Him in our life, following His plan and direction, and not wandering off on our own way, which would definitely be a bad thing.
Amos 3:3, says, "Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?" Sometimes Christians do not "walk" as close to the Lord, so to speak, as they might at other times, but why is that? Are there times in our relationship with God where He changes or somehow moves? Or could it be that there are times that we are not is such a close relationship with God because we are somehow not really in agreement with God? Our goal should be to have a life, a walk which pleases God, where we are walking along with Him and not somewhere behind Him. and certainly not ahead of Him.
