Prepositions

It is interesting to note the various prepositions that are found in Scripture connected with the Christian walk. “Walk before me” (Gen. xvii. 1). Abraham is called to sincerity, to live his life in the presence of God. “Ye shall walk after the Lord your God” (Deut. xiii. 4). The believer is also required to follow God in close, careful obedience. “As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him” (Col. ii. 6). The believer is commanded to walk in union with his Lord. But highest of all we read of walking “humbly with God” (Mic. vi. 8). This is our highest and truest companionship, keeping step with God day by day.
