One of the goals that almost all draw at the beginning of the year is to lose a few pounds or stop being sedentary, which is important and goes far beyond aesthetics, is a matter of health. Doing the exercises does well. However, some, due to time, finances or disposition, opt for something quieter such as walking, which does not help only in thinning, but controls the pressure, diabetes, does good for circulation, among many other benefits.

For the walk to give results, it is necessary to have some care, such as, for example, the type of clothing, the place, the food, the physical conditioning, among other precautions. Based on the physical exercise cited, reflect with me about our Christian walk. For this, I will draw some points:

1 - Walking is something everyday for most people, because you learn to walk even as a child. However, it needs to be practiced. This is also the case in our Christian life. You do not learn to walk with God. There is only practice. Being a Christian is, daily, knowing a little more about God through intimacy with Him.

2 - Normally, who decides to practice the walk makes that decision based on some motivation. In the Christian life it is not different either. Why are you a Christian? Why do you follow Christ? Have you served Jesus for the right reasons? And if God had no power to give you blessings and you lived in constant tribulation, would you love Him for what He is and for the salvation He offers us, by grace, through His son Jesus?

3 - It is important, at the time of the walk, to choose a good place. It indicates a flat place and, preferably, with a pleasant landscape, to relax. The bad choice of this place can even cause injuries. In the Christian life we ​​can say that it is also like that. We are unique before God, with different personality and routine. That is to say, the walk of nobody is equal, nevertheless, God, wisely, already has left us several alerts in the plural. "All sinned" (Rm 3:23); "We are more than victors" (Rm 8.37).

4 - As previously mentioned, it is essential to choose the right clothes and footwear, as well as the correct food. Clothing and footwear for the performance of physical exercise totally influence. And in food, heavy food is dispensable and the ingestion of water is obligatory. Comparing, without the armor of God, the Christian will be unprotected before the attacks of the enemy of our souls. The protection of the Christian is the belt of truth; the breastplate of justice; like shoes, the readiness to announce the Gospel of peace; the shield of faith; the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. Our food is already, exclusively, the Word of God. It is from her that we must be hungry and thirsty.

5 - It is important to have a focus and fundamentally be attentive to what is around you, such as the landscape, for example. Experts even mention that it is better to walk alone to avoid conversations. When it comes to our approach to the Christian life, it is important that we walk alongside people who bring us closer to God, who are an incentive in our spiritual journey. Let them add with wise advice and value prayer.

6 - Before practicing physical exercises it is indicated that medical examinations be done to identify the physical condition of the person. It is indicated for some a personal trainer, for others, cardiologist, nutritionist, in short, a more specific follow-up is necessary. In our Christian life it also works that way. It is necessary to have a spiritual leader. For example, our pastor. It is important to participate in a discipleship, cell, study group so that we can grow spiritually healthy. The Bible, at all times, teaches us to be in communion.

Finally, as we have the option to choose whether to walk or not, and if we want to walk outdoors or on the mats of the academy, in our walk with God we can also choose to congregate in a church in the city X or in the city And, in the denomination X or Z. However, the call of the Christian goes further. We are called to live the Kingdom of God inside and outside the four walls. It is not summarized only in a daily devotional or in the weekly services.

• It is necessary to look to the next, to walk towards the target - which is Christ - without forgetting that the essence of Christ is love and not religiosity.*
