I was once a long distance runner. Miles and miles — until my knees kindly suggested we find another plan. So now? I glide. The elliptical has become my \u201cwalk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No pounding. No pressure. Just a steady, gentle rhythm.
And somewhere between those smooth strides — I started noticing something.
Some of my sweetest conversations with Jesus happen right there.
And, those conversations often come with praise and worship music!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It reminds me of a walk long ago — right after Jesus’ resurrection:
Two weary disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) — with heads down. Hearts heavy. Confused, disappointed, wondering how everything had gone so wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were walking — but not really seeing. And then —
Jesus showed up.
Not with a grand announcement. Not with a spotlight.
Just quietly — walking beside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He listened. He asked questions. He opened the Scriptures.
And slowly — something shifted.
\u201cDid not our hearts burn within us\u2026\u201d That’s it!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That moment when truth came alive.
When confusion turned into clarity.
When heaviness lifted and hope began to rise again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isn\u2019t that what we long for?
And here\u2019s the beautiful part — Jesus still walks with us.
On sidewalks.
On country roads.
Even on elliptical machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We may not always recognize Him right away. Life gets noisy. Our thoughts get tangled. But He\u2019s there — listening, guiding, speaking gently to our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.\u201d
(Psalm 119:105)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So maybe today — you don\u2019t need to have it all figured out.
Maybe you just need a walk.
A quiet moment.
A willing heart.
A step — or a stride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because somewhere along the way, you just might find —
He\u2019s been right beside you all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t have to run — just walk. Or glide.
Somewhere between your steps and your thoughts, you may just hear Him. He\u2019s closer than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
