What's Your Gait?
I like to go to places that are full of people and just sit and watch. It can be quite entertaining. As I watch, I wonder what their story is. Where they are trying to go, and what makes them smile. Let's be honest we humans are interesting to say the least. When I watch, I pay attention to how people carry themselves. There are those who walk confidently. Others who seem to enjoy everything along their journey even if it is from the parking lot to the store. They are the meanderers. But, what about those who strut so hard it looks painful? I mean it doesn't look natural at all, but they have it going on if you know what I mean. I am sure I looked tha way when me and my buddies walked through Foothills Fashion Mall back in the day!
Proverbs 28:18 (MSG) gives us some simple council concerning our walk. It says, " Walk straight—live well and be saved; a devious life is a doomed life."
There is great freedom when we walk with integrity and character. You don't have to look over your shoulder, try to cover your tracks, or tell those close to you how you were stupid. The outcome of walking straight, is you get to you travel light!
In the words of U2 "Walk On."
