How’s Your Walk

 

There is much said in Scripture about our walk. When we see that word, it usually means, “how we live.” We read in Genesis 5:21 - And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:

Genesis 5:22 - And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

We don’t know how Enoch walked or who he walked with before Methuselah was born, but we know after this son was born, Enoch walked with God. How is your walk? Let’s look at some Scriptures that instruct us how to walk, or how God wants us to live.

Ephesians 4:1 - I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 

Ephesians 4:2 - With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 

Here we are taught to walk “worthy of our vocation,” and to walk in love.

What is your vocation or what is your calling? What is God leading you to do or to be?

We are called to please God. The primary calling is to put our faith in Jesus Christ.

Then we are to practice “walking in love!” Forbearing one another in love means learning to control your emotions.

We can walk in love as we yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit who lives within all believers. As we learn in Romans 5:5 - And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
