In Genesis 5, we are told of Enoch, who walked with God; And in Hebrews 11, God celebrates Ecoc because, by faith, he walked with God. The problem of many is that they think that everything will be easy to walk with God. We have all had the experience of ever walking, knowing and feeling the pain that we have a stone in our shoe. And in your walk with God, there will always be stones. Forever.
When you have heart problems, the cardiologist sends you to walk, not to run; Because walking three times a week fixes your heart; But think for a moment: How has your walking damaged your heart? To Moses, the first thing God says is: Take off your footwear. In other words: Where I want to take you, I can not take you with the shoes you have; You have to take them off, because you're going to walk something new.
Jesus himself had two very important events in his life in relation to this. At his last moment, he sat down at the table with his disciples and washed their feet. Peter did not want to, and Jesus says: He who is clean in the heart, what he needs is someone to wash his feet; You have walked three and a half years with me, they have insulted you, you have had difficult times, and you are still here; I am leaving, and I have to clean your feet of everything you have walked, because walking with me has dirtied your feet. Later on, the Bible tells us that a woman comes and anoints Jesus' feet; And, to those who criticized her, Jesus said to them: Leave her, because she has anointed my body. It does not say my feet. How does Jesus say that someone put oil on his feet and anoints his body? That woman was anointing the Lord for what he was going to walk. You can not walk the painful way, if you do not have anointed feet. He received the blows in the back, in the head; But you can not enter a grave, if someone has not anointed your feet.
In your life, in your walk with God, there are two things that you need: Someone to wash your feet, and someone to anoint you. Someone to wash your past, and someone who anoints you for what you are going to; Because you're going to take hits. People want their heads to be anointed, but what you need is for them to anoint their feet, so that they can hold on, so you can keep walking. In the painful way, they will spit on you, they will criticize you; On your way to your resurrection, they will condemn you, they will kill you, you will go to the grave, you will be locked up for three days, you will not see anything; And, if you enter that grave of your life, without your anointed feet, how are you going to get out?
Sometimes, we think like those who are out there: That the country does not work, that there is nothing to do; All because we have a stone in the shoe. But God always sends someone to your life to wash and anoint your feet. Someone who does what is required, what is necessary for you to continue your journey, so that you can continue walking with God.
