A Closer Walk

A Closer Walk

Colossians 1:12 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;  

In our little country church, we sang “Just A Closer Walk with Thee.”  As a child, I had no idea what I was singing.  It just sounded good.  I now know that everyone is called to have a closer walk with the LORD.  This song is a prayer as is Paul’s prayer for the Colossians.  God desires that you and I be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that we continuously grow in the knowledge of Him; that we are profitable in every good work; and that we are strengthened so that patience and longsuffering will always be met with joy.  Daily walking with the LORD by faith, through praying, Bible reading and meditating His word makes for a worthy walk, a closer walk with Him, which is a lifestyle well-pleasing to Him.   .  

Scripture References:  Colossians 1:9-11; II Corinthians 5:7

Prayer for today:  Father, “Just a closer walk with thee.  Grant is it Jesus is my plea; Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.” (Anonymous)  In JESUS name, AMEN. 

Whatever you must do today, there is a grace for that.  Accept the grace and make it a sweatless day.

Love
