Here are some cool gems of wisdom:

  • Get knowledge, but don’t depend on your knowledge
  • Seek to be wise, but don’t rely on your wisdom
  • Work hard, but don’t trust in your hard work
  • Work smart, but don’t stick everything on your own cleverness and efficiency
  • Make plans, but don’t hope in your plans. Save money, but don’t trust your savings
  • Value people, but don’t depend on people
  • It’s better to deserve honors and not have them, than to have them and not deserve them

Perhaps some of these principles, rooted in the wisdom of Scripture, will encourage you and your pursuit of godly living today and strengthen your walk with God.

Your Walk With God

YOUR walk with God…

Remember that your walk with God is the key for life’s fulfillment, purpose, and satisfaction.
Nothing else in life can replace a solid walk with God.
Your walk with him is the core priority in life, because life without God is empty indeed.

The following components are vital to a daily walk with God…

1. The salvation experience… to really get saved and converted and become a genuine believer in Christ.
2. Get baptized… the outward expression of an inward decision.
3. Get into the Bible… read and devour it daily, making it a habit to renew your mind.
4. Get in prayer… make time daily to pour out your heart to God. And
don’t forget the moment by moment walk of life as well. Keeping a
prayer journal is also a great idea.
5. Get into fellowship… Church, home groups, and just being with Christians is a great idea for your walk with God.
6. Get serving… look for service opportunities and ways to employ your God-given gifts, talents, strengths, and skills.
7. Get after seeking God… spend time alone, quietly waiting on God and
seeking his face in prayer and in stillness and quietness.
9. Get witnessing… share your faith and your testimony and the Gospel with others as God directs.
10. Get sanctified… rid yourself and turn away from habits, relationships
and practices you know to be offensive to God and a violation of
Scripture.
11. Get worshiping… learn to have a tremendous heart of
worship toward God and a thankfulness that expresses itself in music
and every other form of worship. Learn to be thankful and expressive.
12. Get learning from problems and suffering… learn to grow and to see
God’s hand in hardship, trials, difficulties, and personal
disappointments.

Walking with God is a relationship first and foremost. It is not
mechanical, there is no formula, and it must be natural and from your
heart.
In order to get to know the Lord, it takes time and intent; there is no microwave Christianity.
We must learn to grow up in Christ and become more like Him. That is why
a walk with him should be our first priority, when we first rise in the
morning and when we go to bed at night.
