"Walk With God Today" grew from a weekly devotional I wrote for many years. It started with sending it to several close friends and family members and grew to hundreds of people receiving it each week. It started very simple. As God put on my heart basic stories, testimonies and every day situations that relate to His spiritual truths, I wrote them down to encourage others. I soon began to include a key scripture, quote, prayer and a few challenging questions. Then I was asked by several readers when I would turn these into a book. After I prayed about it, God made it clear it was time. I have additional key pieces for each weekly devotional designed to help you not only grow in your understanding of Christ and your life with Him, but to spiritually walk with Him. I hope and pray not only that you enjoy this devotional but that it causes you to Walk With God Today!
