Once you learn to ride a bike

We have to be able to laugh at ourself every once in awhile.

We were teaching our youngest granddaughter how to ride her bike without training wheels. So I thought, I’m going to take a ride.

Let me just say,  It didn’t go well!

You know they say, Once you learn how to ride a bike, you can always ride a bike.

I disproved this theory this weekend.

I thought why is it so hard for me now. I used to ride all around my neighborhood when I was young.  I kept thinking…..

So I listed the reasons:

1. I haven’t ridden in a long time.
2. I stopped practicing.
3. I forgot what my teacher told me about how to ride.

God drew me to thinking about my walk with Him

1. If I don’t ask him to ride my life with me.
2. If I stop practicing.
3. If I forget what God’s words teaches me.

I will fail at my walk with Him like I failed at riding the bike.

That disproves the theory of once a Christian always a Christian.

So I’m going to remind you, like He reminded me….

1. I need to ask Him to join me in my walk.
2. I need to do what He calls me to do.  Practice the Spiritual Disciples.
3. I need to always be a learner of His word.

Who/what is steering your walk?

By the way, my youngest granddaughter learned how to ride.

I pray that will continue to practice riding and walking with Jesus.
