Memory Verse of the Week ~
I
have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you
may know you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13

| Walking together...in step. Uncle Barry & Amelia |
Are you
walking in obedience towards Eternal Life?
But be very careful to obey all the commands and the
instructions that Moses gave to you. Love the LORD your God, walk in all his
ways, obey his commands, hold firmly to him, and serve him with all your heart
and all your soul. Joshua 22:5
Walk in God’s
ways and obey His commands. Is there a difference between walking like someone
walks…their ways…and walking with them? I think there is a difference.
If you just walk the way someone…like God…wants you to walk and live—then you
are going through the motions of pleasing them—though not necessarily in their
presence. But if you walk with them…with God…then you are “in step” and
in His presence, thus doing more than following. You are in synch…becoming part
of Him. Walking in His presence (as in Psalm 56) is what Enoch did…and what
Adam and Eve probably experienced before their rebellion.
So obey the commands of the LORD
your God by walking in his ways and fearing him. - Deuteronomy 8:6
I praise God for what he has
promised; yes, I praise the LORD for what he has promised. I trust in God, so
why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? I will fulfill my vows
to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help. For you have
rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can
walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light. Psalm 56:10-13
Enoch lived 365 years, walking in
close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.
Genesis 5:23-24
He has told you, O man, what is
good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love
kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 NASB
Enoch walked
in fellowship with God. How would you describe your “walk” with God? During
this time of Lent is your walk away from or towards your Heavenly Father? I am
running to His arms.
Prayer
~ I praise You, Jesus, for Your willingness to sacrifice Your life for me…for
my family, friends and all mankind. Your mercy is gracious and so appreciated.
I choose to walk humbly with You, in obedience and loving kindness.
