Walk a different way by Gary Rose

Dreary picture, puzzling question: How do you make forward facing footprints when walking away?  My first thought was that perhaps he was just walking in footprint made earlier, but I can't imagine someone being able to walk backward without showing evidence of it.  Humm...

Well, perhaps he is just walking a different way? And the Bible has a lot to say about that, but lets just look at one passage (I really don't want to write a book for a daily post, you know).

Romans, Chapter 8 (World English Bible)

 ¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (vs. 1 emp. added GDR) ² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.  ³ For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;  ⁴ that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  ⁵ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.  ⁶ For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;  ⁷ because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.  ⁸ Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.  ⁹ But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.  ¹⁰ If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.  ¹¹ But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. 

  ¹² So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.  ¹³ For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.  (vs. 13 emp. added GDR) ¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.  ¹⁵ For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba!Father!”

Long and the short of this passage is that if you want to live for God and be able to call HIM ABBA (father), then you need to live your life (walk) in a different way! Your heart and mind and actions will become focused on pleasing God in all things. Old habits will become a thing of the past and Godly living will be the only way to live. Your life, your choice, your future. My advise to you is to follow God and live forever!!!

One last thing... I think the only way these footprints could be made would be if the shoes he was wearing were over-sized ones which were put on backwards. How about THAT for walking a different way!!!
