I have a confession:  I don’t know how to blog.  I never have blogged in my life.  (And now you have so much reason to read on, don’t you?)

When Christopher asked me to blog periodically on I Walk with The King I was immediately enthusiastic to participate, even with absolutely no experience.  I figured blogging could be as simple as putting one sentence in front of the other.  Kind of like walking.  Doesn’t the song go, “Put one foot in front of the other”?

Often I need to tell myself simply to put one foot in front of the other.  Long range goals and plans are good, and sometimes they are necessary.  Yet grand plans and where-I-want-to-be-in-ten-years-from-now-thinking can swallow me alive sometimes!  What about you?  It can be overwhelming.

I don’t want a life of “overwhelmed.”  I need simple and uncomplicated.  But this idea of walking with the King, with Jesus Christ…that is DAUNTING!  We are to look unto Jesus and make Him our focus.  We are to make heaven our goal.  This does not necessarily sound simple.  How does one do something so massive?

Then I am reminded of what Jesus said in Luke 9:23:  If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Today I desire to go after Christ.  Today I need to deny myself.  Today I must take up my cross.  Today I choose to follow my Savior.  Don’t get too far ahead of yourself, Craig.  Make today count most of all.

What will you do to walk with the King?  Start today by simply putting one foot in front of the other.
