Good Monday Morning Blog Family. I pray you are having an awesome day in the Lord. Praise God.
This moring I would like to talk a little about your walk with God. Yesterday in Sunday School we were talking about how the leaders in the church should live their lives and the examples they should set for others. Well, this is not just for the leaders in the church, this should also be for anyone who says they are a Christian. When you are a Christian and following Jesus, your life should be an example to others as well as the leaders in the church.
Walking with God should be a lifestyle of faith, obedience, seeking His guidance in every area of your life and building that deep relationship with Him. Reading and studyin His Word to understand how you are to live this life He has given you. Doing things His way and not the worlds way, trusting and believeing all things in His Holy Word. Your walk with God should always include listening to Him, obeying His instructions and having faith in Him, daily. Following the path that God has set for you, allowing Him to order you footsteps, with Him leading and us following.
Your intimacy and fellowship with God is very important, talking with Him and seeking Him about all things. Living a life that honors Him and seeking to please Him in every area of your life. If you go to your Bible, you will see where there were a lot of people that walked with God. Enoch walked with God faithfully in Genesis 5:22. Noah walked with God faithfully in Genesis 6:9. The Lord appeared to Abraham and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully” in Genesis 17:1. “And what does the Lord require of you: To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” in Micah 6:8. When Jesus, who was God walking on the earth, He alwasy invited believers to walk with Him. So, you can see the importance of walking with God and the way we have been instructed to walk.
As you an see, walking with God is more than just holding a leadership position in your church or announcing that you are a Christian. It is all about your relationship with God, your truth, faith and obeience to God, what comes out of your mouth, the way you carry yourself, the way you treat others, the lifestyle you live, the way you dress, your attitude, the places you choose to go, the people you surround yourself with and on and on. I think you get the picture of what I am saying, if not I suggest you get in your Bible and do some reading and studying on what it means to walk with God.
I know this is just Monday and you may think this is a little heavy, but this is what we should already be doing in our daily walk with God. If you are not, then you may need to make some adjustments and get in line with the Word of God. Have a blessed day in the Lord. 🙂
