So Walk In Him

“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.” Colossians 2:6-7

Does you heart overflows with gratitude today for all that God is and for all that He has done for you? Mine certainly does and I pray that I will walk in a way that pleases Him today and that I will be more firmly rooted, built up and established in my faith today than I was yesterday. Shouldn’t that always be our goal as Christians because to do otherwise is to backslide, pure and simple. My prayer today is that God will give me a heart that is willing to receive instruction as He continues to order my steps and a heart that wants nothing more than to obey and follow as He leads.

There are some days when I just don’t feel like I’m making any progress in my faith walk and there is usually good reason for that; I don’t make much progress when I don’t follow His instructions (my heart is not usually very grateful on those days either). My only hope is to daily determine in my heart that I will stand firmly rooted, built up and established in faith so that I can make a little progress each day.
