Do you go for a walk every day?
Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord—reliable.
Prayer is a powerful thing. God gives us the ability to access Him through our
prayers—and He is all powerful, so that opens doors to more power for us. Jesus
said…Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will
receive, so that your joy may be made full. John 16:24. Simply
ask—pray. Just as Paul wrote to the Colossians, I have not ceased to
pray for you and ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in
all spiritual wisdom and understanding (NASB). Do you know that
even if I don’t know you…I do pray for you as you read this blog? I ask God to
bless you with understanding and wisdom…and joy as you apply His word to your
life.
Larry
McCall in his book Walking like Jesus Did asked, “Who
do you want to be like when you grow up spiritually?” What a great
question. Of course, we’d hope the answer would be to be more like
Jesus as we mature spiritually. Are you striving for that? How’s your progress?
Who is holding you accountable? Find someone who is seeking to know Jesus more
deeply and hold each other accountable as you walk in a manner worthy of the
Lord. Jewish people have the custom of studying scripture in the presence of
others—a haverim. The principle that Jesus told His disciples when He taught
them about prayer can apply to anytime we are focusing on Jesus.
Again I say to you, that if two of
you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them
by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in
My name, I am there in their midst. Matthew 18:19-20 NASB
Imagine
that Jesus is with you now. We are gathered at our computers, studying His
word, seeking to know Him better, and praying that He will bless us with
answers to our earnest prayers. Jesus is here.
So
we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God
to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and
understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord,
and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will
grow as you learn to know God better and better. We also pray that you will be
strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and
patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He
has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who
live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and
transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and
forgave our sins. Colossians
1:9-14 (Underlined for emphasis.)
Prayer
– Lord God, You are awesome and we worship You. Help us to walk and live in a
way that is pleasing to You and may we be more like Jesus everyday. Thank you
that You are always with us and that You hear our prayers.
Meditate.
Consider how far you walk every day. Is it worthy of the Lord?
Happy
Birthday, Debbie J.
God
has richly blessed you with such creativity…and blessed so many through you!
