Life Lessons- Heidi Jumper ”She Walks with Jesus” 7.31.24

Hey J-Fam, Tonight, Heidi Jumper shared a profound message about the lessons she's learned on her journey with Jesus. Her mission is to walk with Jesus based on the concept of "walking in the dust of the Rabbi," striving to stay so close to Jesus that she sees, hears, and understands everything He does. In her journey, she spent a year delving into Psalm 23, and here are her key takeaways: **Psalm 23 Insights:** - **V1:** Sometimes, walking with Jesus means not even moving forward (i.e., waiting). Sometimes, Jesus sits down, and sometimes, before we can walk, we need to rest. - **V2:** Resting in Jesus and remembering His greatness (Isaiah 40:31) is the beginning of walking with Him. It's important to wait for His timing and guidance, as trying to rush ahead can lead to anxiety and exhaustion. Waiting on the Lord renews strength (Isaiah 40:31). - **V3:** The right path might seem long or boring. Following Jesus means taking the next right step as He leads. We must keep our eyes fixed on Him, not others or others' path (Hebrews 12:2). God brings others to walk with us for a season on the right path." - **V4:** Walking with Jesus doesn't always come with a whole map. He asks us to trust Him in the dark. We are called to trust that He knows what is around the next curve. Be obedient to the small things. - **V5:** When we walk with Jesus, we don't have to worry about anything. Jesus knows the safest places, even in the middle of danger. He can bless us with sustenance and refreshing even with enemies surrounding us (Matt. 6:34). - **V6:** I walk my path, and as long as I walk with Jesus, it doesn't matter where it leads on this side of heaven. He says I will dwell with Him forever. That is my destination. That is where I am satisfied. God is faithful. Let's strive to walk closely with Him and see the incredible things He does in and through our lives.   **Reminder:** We start our "Waiting on God" series next week, discussing Chapter 1 of "Waiting on God" by Wayne Stiles.
