The Way of the Spirit: Walk and Run
If we set our minds on earthly things, we will surely follow earthly things, living according to the flesh.
Walking is living step by step, running is the same thing, but with eagerness.
We always follow who comes before us; the way of one before us is given as an example.
As children we follow the examples we see; and as children we walk after our parents - they are our examples.
We, as little children of God, walk after Jesus Christ, following His example;
we pattern our lives after His life, imitating Him as children of God.
We imitate Him who we see; if we say we see Him, but do not do as He does, we lie.
