How much do you walk? A study of 15,045 walkers enrolled in the National Walkers’ Health Study over six years.

How much do you walk? Walking reduced the risk of having high cholesterol by 7%

How much do you walk? Walking lowered the risk of diabetes by 12.3%

How much do you walk? Walking reduced coronary heart disease risk by 9.3%

The Apostle Paul suggested we go for regular ‘Walks’

Ephesians 5:15-17 “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Ephesians 5:15-17 “Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”

Urged us to walk ‘circumspectly’ ‘Akribos’ accurately diligently

Life is not be lived by mere happenstance; but by Intentionality

THE GOAL! To Understand the Will of the Lord!

Only Fools Rush In Introspection!

1 Corinthians 11:28 “But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.”

2 Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?”

“The unexamined life is not worth living” Socrates

What area of my life has the greatest need right now?

Redig The Old Wells Restoration!

Genesis 26:17-19 “Then Isaac departed from there and pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. And Isaac dug again the wells of water…

…which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. He called them by the names which his father…

…had called them. Also Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found a well of running water there.”

The difference between success and failure is continuing to do the things that bring success…

…and stop doing the things that bring forth failure!

What standards do I need to ‘redig’ in my life?

Do Something for God’s Sake! Animation!

Jeremiah 6:16 “Thus says the LORD: ‘Stand in the ways and see,’ and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it;

Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’”

The Great Challenge of our Day Inertia!

Inertia A tendency for sluggishness or resistance to change!

Today I will wisely take this one step to walk circumspectly, redeeming this day, uncovering the will of God in my life?

Perhaps you need to take that first step with God this morning by trusting Christ as your Savior!
