Watch
Your Step
“He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” (1 John 2:6)
Today’s
Morsel: Have you ever just been walking along when
suddenly you trip and fall? And you wonder to yourself, how in the world
did that happen, I know I was looking where I was going! The problem is that
sometimes we can be accustomed to where we are and we can become
careless. Throughout scripture, we are warned to be careful how we
walk. We must watch our steps. Satan is always setting traps and pitfalls
to cause us to fall. John states, “He that saith he abideth in him ought
himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” We who profess to know
Christ, and that we have communion with Him and abide in his favor, should
prove the truth of our profession by walking as Christ walked; by living a life
of devotion and obedience to Him, and by loving our neighbor as
ourselves. We
should not ever neglect the ‘Golden Rule’. We should do unto others as we
would have them do unto us. Peter states, “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did
no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled
not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to
him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on
the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose
stripes ye were healed.”
(1 Peter 2:21-24) Always follow the
example of Jesus. If you fall you can get back up. But watch
your step, the world is a slippery place.
Sing: Lord, I can’t even walk without You
holding my hand, the mountains too high and the valleys too wide, down on my
knees that’s where I learned to stand, and I can’t even walk without You
holding my hand.
Thought For Today: “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” (Ephesians 5:15-16)
