Do you ever talk "out loud" to yourself? Today's verse makes a declarative statement! It's like the Psalmist is making a declaration of his FAITH! When a person talks about "their walk," it is referring to how they live their life. Some live their lives always thinking about what people will think about them. The Psalmist declares that he is living his life thinking about God's opinion of him! What about you? You may need to "talk out loud" and make a declaration of your FAITH to God! He wants to WALK with you today!

]]>This is a very interesting verse, given by God to encourage you today. Someone said that this particular verse covers most of the things that will happen in life of a believer. Your life is made up of waters, rivers, fires, and flames. They are pictured as afflictions, temptations, persecutions, and trials. The best part of this verse is the fact that God promises to be with you in all. He not only is with you, but He has made a path through the water, through the river, through the fire, and through the flame. You need not be overcome by any of these, because God will lead you through them, if you will WALK by FAITH!

]]>"For a man to walk in pride, is something more than to be proud: it says, that pride is his way, his element; that he is wholly under the influence of it.” --William Jay. Nobody likes to admit they are prideful. Pride starts off as being a motivator for a good work ethic, and before you know it, it becomes a source of emotional stimulus. Often we are blinded to our pride, but pride shows itself in the person who thinks they know it all. God humbled David on several occasions, and he declares that he continually needed to be taught God's truth, and needed God's help to live! Do you see yourself needing God? He wants to teach you as you walk through life today!

]]>What an awesome verse! The Lord God is a sun and shield for every believer! He is a sun that "warms you," that "gives light to your path," and He is also a shield that "protects you" from harm. God leads, comforts, and protects the believer. The sun is above you, giving warmth and guidance. The shield of FAITH is around you, providing God's grace and glory for every obstacle in your path. The Lord has blessed you today with His presence as you are walking the paths of this world. Reflect upon the "sun" and "shield" and the many other blessings the heavenly Father gives you, and walk in His righteousness!

]]>The first verse in this Psalm (26:1) gives us a little understanding of what David means when he refers to integrity. According to that verse, you could substitute the word "faith" for integrity. In today's verse David is saying that he, personally, purposes to "walk in faith," and he needs God's mercy and redemption to be able to do that. It's not a "solo walk!" FAITH in GOD is a partnership! Remember this as you are "walking" from one place to another throughout your day. God is walking with YOU!
