Sitting on top of Crowder's Mountain, making a crown of thorn's bracelet, lighting a candle, walking a labyrinth, standing on Holy ground, writing a card to my brother, these are all ways to experience prayer and sabbath time in our busy lives. Yet, walking is one of the most easily available spiritual practices.
Imagine if Jesus traveled by car to do His ministry. How might that have looked? Think of all the distractions we have when we are driving? What opportunities do we miss? As Jesus walked He could pay attention. He could touch people physically and spiritually. I believe Jesus means for us to get out of the car and to walk at a pace where we can see, hear and feel His presence. When someone asks us where we want to be in our lives, the last thing that occurs to us is to look down at our feet and say, "right here."
My challenge to you this Holy Week is to start "right here", look down at your feet, take a deep breath and walk out your faith.
