Am I walking with God?

Every Wednesday for the past 6 weeks I have been attending Bible study at my church. The Bible Study is entitled God's Story. It is a study and video based on Anne Graham Lotz.

Today in class we watched the video dealing with Genesis 6:1-8:1. This particularly deals with Noah's Ark and his committment to God. During this video, I was forced to ask myself: Am I walking with God? Throughout my journey of building my relationship with God I want to continue to evaluate myself and during this video session I did.

Anne identified some keys areas that would help me assess if I was truly walking with God:
1.Have I surrendered my will to God
2. Am I obedient to God?
3. Do I trust God?

These were the key questions that I asked myself while I was listening to the video. And I have to say it is tough being completely honest with myself. I would like to say yes to each of these questions, unfortunately I cannot. There are times where I beleive I could say yes to each one individually, but can I confidently say yes, I have surrendered my will to God. No. There are times when I want to do things "MY WAY" because I think it may be more convenient only to find out that I have caused myself more heartache.

Am I obedient to God? No, not always. Again sometimes I like to do things my way and not God's way.

And lastly, do I trust God. Naturally, I want to say yes. But do I trust God when I am going through the difficult times? And again, I must say yes. This is one area I think I am doing pretty good in. However, since I am human, I must say that I do have my doubts from time to time.

So in dealing with these challenges I need to spend even more time in prayer and God's word. The more I depend on His Word the easier it will be for me to walk with God.
