Consider This
Leviticus 26:12 says, “I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.”
Throughout the scriptures, in this study, we see God making His presence known, leading His people, speaking to His people, correcting His people, and calling His people to walk with Him.
We also see people who walked with God, walked before God, followed His ways, obeyed His commands, and kept Him before them.
As you consider this study, think about this:
God’s promise to walk among His people is not only about His presence being near. It is also about relationship, covenant, obedience, trust, and daily awareness of Him.
What would change in your life if you lived every day aware that God desires to walk with His people?
