Robert Saucy Quote
In the ancient world, especially among nomadic people, life was lived on foot. They walked step by step along a path or way in search of food and water for their flocks and herds. As a result, walking became a metaphor for the journey of life. We are called to live [our lives] before God in such a way that every single step is made with reference to [him] and every day experiences him close at hand.4 To each of us, God says as He did to Abraham centuries ago, Walk before me (Gen. 17:1). Walking, however, is never simply walking per se. It is always walking along a particular way. We can walk along the way of the LORD (Gen. 18:19)—the way of the righteous (Ps. 1:6; cf. Prov. 8:20; 2 Peter 2:21), the path of life (Ps. 16:11; Prov. 10:17), the good way (Jer. 6:16), and the way of the truth (2 Peter
