Durante me form fight their six.

2:26

See I have taught you statute and rules as

2:28

the Lord my God commanded me the you should

2:30

do them in the land the you are entering

2:32

to take possession of it. Keep them

2:34

in. Do them. For that will be

2:36

your wisdom in your understanding in the side of

2:39

the peoples. Who when they hear

2:41

all these statutes will say surely this

2:43

great nation is a wise and understanding

2:45

people. My. Son had

2:47

spent most of his life and small towns and when

2:49

we took walks in the evening he would run ahead

2:51

of my wife and I do got the next corner

2:53

and then he wait for us to catch up. But.

2:56

In two thousand and twelve, my family and I

2:58

moved to the City of Chicago, and the differences

3:00

between small town and big city life became evident

3:02

when my son and I were walking on Michigan

3:04

Avenue. on the relatively empty sidewalks

3:06

of rural Illinois. by some didn't have

3:08

to stay by my side. The. Michigan

3:11

Avenue created different challenges. And

3:13

as I washed my son try to

3:16

navigate and busy Chicago sidewalks on his

3:18

own, I saw him dodge preoccupied shoppers,

3:20

sidestep those guilty of texting while walking,

3:22

and hugged the walls to avoid being

3:24

trampled. I call them back to walk next

3:26

to me. At. Six foot, two

3:28

hundred fifty pounds. People saw me coming. At

3:31

in show people out of the way, but I was

3:33

definitely more noticeable than a seven year old. And

3:35

when my son walked with me, he was able to

3:38

walk said he was six point two and I'm fifty

3:40

pounds as well. He. Walked differently

3:42

because he walked with new. And.

3:45

Just as my son was able to walk differently

3:47

when he walked next to me. So Christians can

3:49

walk differently when we walk with God. So.

3:52

How do we walk With God. Will. God is

3:54

enabled us to up with him. As

3:56

God says in his he deal thirty six, twenty

3:58

six, and twenty seven. I will give you

4:00

a new heart and a new spirit I will put

4:02

within you and I will remove the heart of stone

4:04

for your flesh. In give you a heart of flesh.

4:07

And. I will put my spirit within you

4:09

and cause you to walk in my statutes

4:11

And be careful to obey my rules. God

4:14

has given us his spirits of the week and obey

4:16

him. And. In obeying we walk

4:19

with him. God is

4:21

revealed how we can follow and. He's. Given

4:23

us the way of wisdom. For. Israel. Keeping

4:25

God's law was to be Israel's wisdom

4:27

and understanding before the nation's. And.

4:29

It isn't all that different for us.

4:32

We demonstrate or wisdom by learning to

4:34

observe all Christ commanded. Obedience.

4:36

Is our strategy. It's. How

4:38

we demonstrate the we trust the lord with

4:40

our whole her rather than leaning on our

4:43

own understanding. And. As we obey,

4:45

we offer an alternative to the world. We

4:47

walk with gray so that the world sees

4:49

the difference Christ makes. We're.

4:51

To be a people who walk wisely by

4:54

walking with the lord. What

4:56

spray now to learn to walk with lord?

4:59

Lord. We desire to point to

5:01

and glorify you and a lost and broken

5:03

world helpless to walk with you you've already

5:06

given as your spirit. You've already revealed yourself

5:08

to us to the scriptures and three or

5:10

son. Give us now the

5:12

conviction and the courage to obey. Helpless.

5:15

To be wise, as we follow you and

5:17

walk in your ways, we desire to be

5:19

increasingly conform to the image of your son,

5:21

who's obedient even to the point of death

5:39

we could ever ask or think. And.

5:42

Allow some recognize our obedience as

5:44

our wisdom in our dependence on
