“Humbly is the way we should walk.”

“There are two kinds of walking, of going on a journey. The first kind is typified by an elevator ride…. the experience is all about getting where you’re going. It’s not about the journey. But there’s another kind of journey. It’s best typified by lovers going for a walk….Nobody cares where we’re going; we’re just going for a walk.” - Dan Olinger

The author really nailed it with this illustration …elevator ride vs. going for a walk. This article is worth the click to read his illustration in its more developed context. I would add Job 7:17-18 to his thoughts

17 What is man, that you make so much of him,
and that you set your heart on him,
18 visit him every morning
and test him every moment?
