Remember watching--and recording--the first steps of your first child, and whomever else followed in his footsteps? A proud moment in history we love to recall...but another moment in history is about to take place this week...the inauguration of a new president of the United States!
Our seniors love to recall and recite the details of the many inaugurations they have watched...and why not! I would hope that we ALL turn our TVs towards Washington, D.C. on January 20, 2001, as President-elect George W. Bush takes the solemn oath of office. I know I'll be there! Life and the laundry can wait...this is HISTORY and I'm walking through it this week with great emotion and pride. I am a citizen of the United States of America--and that's how it should be!
I'm a citizen of another country too--a land "beyond the blue" where sits the One I have crowned King of my life. I walk through the pages of His Word and find the "seniors"--their wonderful stories are recorded for us there. Now they watch from the balconies of heaven as WE walk through the many mazes of life. They cheer us on in this "walk for life"--it's a walk--AND a race--that by God's grace we are going to win!
You may not go down in history as one who walked Pennsylvania Avenue to be sworn in as president of the United States...but you walk today in the shadow of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. So hold up your head proudly, walk with true statesmanship--you will someday rule and reign with the Highest in the Land...the eternal Land of God where the Light never ceases to shine....and it will shine in our pathway TODAY as we walk with our King here on earth--WHEREVER on Planet Earth we may live.
Now get on your walkin' shoes, your joggin' shoes, your tennis shoes--whatever--history's being made: we are WALKING WITH THE KING! Believe it and have a great week!

"Lord, I proudly take my stand...no, I do more than just STAND...I proudly WALK today with the King of my life...I honor the memory of those who have walked before me; help me to likewise walk faithfully in Your Word and Your grace, until the race is won, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
