Still Walking That Walk?
“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted
and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught,
abounding in thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7
It sometimes occurs to me that devotions may be in a sense 'preaching to
the choir' as those who are wandering around lost probably have no real
desire to read 'religious' things. The Holy Spirit though does have a way
of drawing those that are lost to **Him and does it in 'accidental' ways at
times. Shoving Jesus down someone's throat only serves to actually drive
them further away from Him and intimidate them.
My question to those who have accepted Christ as their savior is "Are you
still walking with Him daily?" It is easy to let the cares of the world and
busyness of daily life put things of the Lord on the back burner. I
recently returned from vacation and it is especially challenging when away
from home to have a quiet time. Make it your goal daily to purpose in your
heart that you will arrange your schedule each day so as to allow the Lord
to have first place. if you have a spouse that is less than interested you
can still do your own thing and may set an example in doing so. Don't do it
to prove anything or show off but do it because you love Jesus.
When you walk daily with the Lord you will find that the things that
trouble you are not so dominant and you will be better able to praise God
even in a storm of life.
PRAYER: I love being able to walk with you daily Lord. I thank you for
freedom to do so. Many people in many nations do not have that freedom.
Help me not to waste this freedom and to use it. Forgive me for when I have
put you last and not first. In Jesus' name. Amen.
