52 Ways To Walk
“Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from
the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk
circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days
are evil.” (Ephesians 5:14-16)
Today’s
Morsel:
There is a book entitled, ‘52 Ways to Walk’ by Annabel Streets. It’s about the
surprising science of walking, wellness, and joy, one week at a time. Paul
states that we should walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming
the time, because the days are evil. We must walk cautiously, and carefully, being
alert to our surroundings. Life today is as though we are walking through a
minefield. Therefore, we must be careful. Paul again admonished us: “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of
sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far
spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and
let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in
rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and
envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the
flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” (Romans
13:11-14) Walk
honestly. Let our deportment be decent, orderly, and grave;
such as we shall not be ashamed of in the eyes of the whole world. And we must “walk in
wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.” (Colossians 4:5) Walk in wisdom - that is, conduct uprightly
and honestly. Deal with them on the strictest principles of integrity, so that
they may not have occasion to reproach the religion which you profess. Don’t just
walk 52 times, walk daily with Jesus for your joy and wellness.
Sing: Let me walk
with You Jesus, don’t ever leave me alone. For without You I could never, no,
never make heaven my home.
Thought
For Today: “If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.” (1 John 1:6)
