From the beginning when God chose to create a people after God’s own heart, God “walked with Abram.” In the course of time Abram became Abraham. From his birth, Jacob’s whole life story was a journey with God with fits and starts, but always with God’s faithfulness. He became known as Israel. Saul the Pharisee expressed is zeal for God by arresting and imprisoning those who followed Jesus. It was on a journey to Damascus that his journey took a left turn. He became knows as the Apostle Paul. Even Moses’ story of faith joins up with the story of the Israelite people and their coming out of Egypt, wandering through the desert and then reaching the Promised Land.
With all of these examples it is not surprising then that we too are somewhere in our journey and also learning to “Walk with God,” as Micah 6:8 says, “What does the Lord require of you but to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.” Lent is that season in which we again and again give attention to our journeying in faith. Perhaps we too will live into a time when our names will change and we will have become the people that God is making us into. This is our hope and our activity in Lent as we also prepare ourselves to receive Easter with a living hope within us.
