GOD WALKS WITH HIS PEOPLE
Read Leviticus 26:12
What are the two things God promises to do for His people? If God wanted to stay in His throne in Heaven 24/7, He deserves to… He is God. But the thing is, God is the type of God who loves to be with His people. Throughout history, He, in some way or form, has been right there in the middle of His people. In the Old Testament, He lived in the temple and sometimes traveled with them as a cloud. In the New Testament, He came down and walked with people as a human named Jesus. Now He lives within the hearts of every one of His followers. God takes every step with you. He is your Father, Savior and faithful friend.
GOD GAVE UP BEING GOD
Read Philippians 2:5-8.
What did Jesus, who is God, do for you? What did the God of the universe become for you? What should your attitude be like? Today, you get to see how God put His promise that He will walk with you in action. He gave up all the cool things that make Him God so He could live on earth like you. He became human. He was a baby. He was a toddler and probably stubbed His toe and cried. God might have gotten a zit. He was bullied. God had to go to the bathroom, and He might have gotten the stomach flu. The point is that God promises to walk with you and He made that come true by becoming human and being like His creation. God didn’t become a human just for fun (although I am sure He had some good, positive fun while on earth). He came to make it possible for you to walk with Him forever. By becoming a human, God made Himself have to face death. God didn’t have to go through death. He didn’t do anything wrong, but He did it so His blood could cover your sin. Did God have to be humble to become human? Are you glad Jesus came to earth to die for your sins?
JESUS UNDERSTANDS
Read Hebrews 2:18
Does Jesus understand when we are tempted? Does Jesus understand when we suffer? How does Jesus understand? You can never say to God, “You don’t understand what I am going through.” Life might be hard, but God understands the worst suffering you could ever go through. Jesus died a horrible death on the cross without doing one thing wrong His entire life. Did you know that God had to turn away from Jesus on the cross? He couldn’t be with Him because Jesus carried all of the sins of all the people who would ever live. Jesus was alone on that cross for you. The good news is that you have a God that not only wants to walk with you, but who came down and walked in your footsteps. You can trust Him to understand your hurts. Since He lived life perfectly, you can trust His advice when He gives it.
WALKING WITH GOD IN ETERNITY
Read Revelation 21:3-4
What will it be like when we are with Jesus after He comes back for His people? God created the earth and walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve sinned it meant that God could not be with them anymore. He knew this would happen and had already planned the way He would make it possible for you to walk with Him. Jesus came, died, and rose again making it possible for God to walk with Him again. Did you know that you will one day live with God forever? One day Jesus will return, punish all evil and live with His people forever! Will there be hurt, pain or death when God is in charge?

Day Five
WALK IN THE LIGHT!
Read Ephesians 5:8
Where were you at one time? Where are you now? How should you walk? The world is filled with sin and darkness. Jesus came and was the light in the darkness. God is the only light, the only way to see in the darkness. Now that you know Him and believe in Him, there is no reason to live a sinful life. He wants to walk with you in the light and promises to help you. If you do, you might just see others reach for the true light switch because God’s light was seen in you! How can you take God up on His offer to walk with you? In other words, how can you walk with Him?
