Word Filled Wednesday – Walking With Him

WFWlogo
 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6,7

I love the encouragement found in this verse for our walk with God.  Once we have received Christ Jesus as our Lord, we should walk with him, establish roots in His Word and be  continually built up and established in the faith.  Now, this is not something that happens overnight, but walking indicates a continual movement.  Rooted and built up takes day by day diligence which moves us toward being established in the faith.  Instead of being overwhelmed by what we lack in our Christian life, may we strive to WALK in Him, moment by moment and always abound with thanksgiving, that He is right beside us.

    I loved this: 'a continual movement'... that is very true. If we stand still, we are going backwards. Moving forward, inch by inch, small step by small step, if necessary and much better than leaps and bounds. Slow and steady wins the race, as the old saying goes.

    What a wonderful WFW! Beautiful picture for a great scripture...

    Happy WFW and God bless you...

    That last line is one to remember, that we need to do so with thanksgiving. That's the key and one I forget too often!

    I often look too far ahead on the path and "trip" up! It's when I stay moment by moment walking and stepping in His ways that I see things that I have never noticed before...
    Yes, this is beautiful! What a wonderful way to begin the day!

    peace,

    As difficult it is for me to physically walk, I am so glad that we have the Holy Spirit to help us walk in Him.... Whether we are sitting, laying down, running or walking... we can walk in Him...

    I must admit, I have struggled to walk with Christ this week. The enemy had been throwing his arrows at me- I am going on a church retreat this weekend, and he doesn't like it!
    Well, I can praise God because in His name and by the power of His body and blood- Satan is cast out!
    So tonight, I am in prayer and scripture study... putting on the full armour of God.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
