I have always enjoyed reading Morning and Evening by Charles H Spurgeon, today I want to share with you the morning devotion, I hope you enjoy it:
Walking
"So walk in Him." Colossians 2:6
If we have received Christ in our hearts, the new life we have will manifest itself in a walk of faith with Him.
Walking is action. Our religion is not to be confined to the prayer closet. We must put into practie what we believe. If we walk in Christ, then we act as Christ would act. Christ is our hope, our love, our joy, and our life. We are to be the image of Jesus to a world that will say, "You are like your Master; you live like Jesus Christ."
Walking indicates progress. "So walk in Him." Proceed from grace to grace. Go forward until you reach the uttermost degree of knowledge concerning your Beloved.
To walk is a sign of continuance. There must be a perpetual abiding in Christ. Many Chistians have fellowship with Jesus in the morning and evening but give their heart to the world all day. This is poor living. We should always walk with Him, following His steps and doing His will.
Walking implies habit. When we speak of our walk, we mean our habits, the tenor of our lives. If we sometimes enjoy Christ, sometimes call Him ours, but then disown Him, that may be a habit, but it is not walking with Him. We must have a habit of keeping close to Him, clinging to Him, never letting Him go, "for in Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28). "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in HIm." Hold fast to Him.
Jesus Christ is the trust of your faith, the source of your life, the principles of your actions, and the joy of your spirit. Let Him be this until life's end, when you will enter into the joy and rest of heaven.
O Holy Spirit, enable us to obey this heavenly instruction.
"Thanks for joining me in this devotion, I hope you were blessed." Sue
