Walking Worthy

“Order my steps in thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.”

Psalm 119:133

Ladies, our church recently hosted a women’s conference, and the theme was “Order My Steps”.  It was a wonderful weekend in the Lord’s presence! We were challenged to walk worthy of the Lord in different areas of our lives;  we experienced a blessed time of praise, worship, fellowship, and sitting at the feet of Jesus!

 I wrote a short devotional for our conference booklet, and I would like to share it with you.

Do You Desire To Walk Worthy?

What does it truly mean to walk worthy of the Lord?  Have you ever pondered this question?  Can you look at your life and with assurance declare that you  walk worthy of Christ?

We who belong to the Lord should have a deep longing to walk worthy of our awesome Savior who loved us and gave His life for us.  But how do we live this out on a daily basis?

Let us consider what the apostle Paul admonished the saints to do in his letter to the Colossians in Chapter 1:10.....”that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.”

It seems that walking worthy involves being pleasing to our Savior…..do you desire to please Him in all that you say and do?  Does your lifestyle reflect an attitude that considers what is pleasing to Christ?   We are told to make it our goal to please Him. (2 Corinthians 5:9)

Walking worthy also consists of bearing fruit……do you engage in good deeds that glorify God and point people to Christ?  Christ tells us that He chose us and appointed us to bear fruit. (John 15:16)

Finally, walking worthy means growing in our relationship with our Father.   Do you desire to read and study God’s word and talk with Him daily through prayer?  We cannot grow in the Lord unless we spend time with Him. (2 Peter 3:18)

To truly walk worthy of the Lord may be difficult at times, but any sacrifices that we have to make to live it out do not remotely compare to the sacrifice that Christ made for us on Calvary’s Cross.   

Ladies, walk worthy for God’s Glory!
