walk by faith

 


The word walk doesn’t always mean you have to move your feet.  It refers to living out our salvation, following Jesus and walking the way that is best.  The Bible uses the word walk in our understanding of the Christian life.

 

Colossians 1:10 NASB

so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

 

Walk so God is seen in your life.

 

2 Corinthians 5:7  NASB

for we walk by faith, not by sight—

 

Walk by Faith.  I’ve even gotten lost by thinking I knew where I was or even by using GPS.  The same is true in our spiritual lives which is why we need faith in God every day.

 

Ephesians 5:15 NASB

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

 

Joshua 22:5 NASB

Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways and keep His commandments and hold fast to Him and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

 

Walk with wisdom and in the direction God has given.  How and where we walk is a choice we make.

 

How we walk really does matter.  Plan to walk through the Bible like you plan to walk somewhere, for exercise or even a hike of some sort.  No matter where or how, walk in a way that honors God all the time.

 

Enjoy the journey.  Walk in the joy you find in what really matters in life.  For me that includes faith.

 

3 John 1:4 NASB

I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

 

It thrills me to see others choose to walk by faith as well.  That would be my family, those in the church and others who I truly care about.  Choose to walk with God each day.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
