Walking the Walk

Over the past several weeks as so often happens, I found myself doing some serious self evaluations. I was blessed to come upon these verses:

Ephesians 4:1-3
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

These verses brought such focus to me. This is what we all must do who sincerely seek to do the Will of The Father! "To walk worthy of the vocation that we have been called" is so profound! This means that each of us are liable for the talents that we have been given. Whatever it is that The Father has blessed us with, we must do our very best in it. We must walk worthy of it! Meaning we must live holy and truthfully. But still as we strive to do our best, we must continue to cloak ourselves in humility. We must not get puffed up and think we are more than we are. We must remember that there will be trials. All is not promised to be easy and happy times. We must endure many conflicts such as: illness, poverty, ostracization, hunger, pain and the list goes on! Through all of this we should continue to walk worthy.

We also must endure many positive things that will challenge our walk: wealth, health, popularity, plenty, joy and the list continues. You might ask how such positive states could affect our walk? It is during times of plenty, when the people of God often get off track. Many of us forget to give thanks, we forget that we did not do this positive things of ourselves and we tend to take our good health for granted. We must be the sons and daughters He has called us to be at all times!

We also need to be kind and think of others. We should not be spiteful or vengeful. We should be known as a people of peace. When we come around, people should feel a joy, peace and love that they cannot explain. Let's not be angry or finger pointers! We need to walk in Love. We need to walk in peace. We need to walk in humility. We need to walk in truth!

As I walk this walk, I continue to pray for strength and direction to be a good ambassador for The Kingdom of God. Peace and blessings to you!
