Walk This Way: Walk a Teaching Path

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take.  Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways.  Over the next 5 days I will be sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.

Here is day twenty-seven with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path of truth.

Walk a Teaching Path

“These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.  Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (NIV)

From whom did you learn the spiritual truths that you follow?  What were the settings for some of your greatest spiritual lessons?  What was the stated purpose of Jesus, according to Mark 3:14, in calling the twelve to Himself?  What methods did Jesus use to prepare these disciples to become the apostles?  Do you see yourself as a teacher?  Who do you spend the most time with?  Are you teaching them?  Are they teaching you?  Who could you influence in a positive way if you saw every interaction as a teaching opportunity?

As God called His people out of slavery to follow Him, He gave them His laws and commands to follow.  He gave instructions for the people to keep God’s teachings before them at all times.  As you pray, ask God to help you become comfortable in sharing His Word wherever you are.  Pray that you would walk a teaching path, having God’s instructions on your lips in your conversations everywhere.  Pray that you would see the value of relationships in teaching others to know God and follow His truth.

In prayer,

Walk This Way: Walk a Path of Truth

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take.  Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways.  Over the next 6 days I will be sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.

Here is day twenty-six with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path of truth.

Walk a Path of Truth

“It gave me great joy to have some brothers come and tell about your faithfulness to the truth and how you continue to walk in the truth.”
3 John 1:3 (NIV)

How truthful are you?  What would the people closest to you say in response to that question about you?  It has been said that honesty is the best policy, do you agree with that?  Would your actions say that you agree?  Why do you think truth seems to be so elusive in today’s culture?  Do you believe truth to be universal and absolute or does it depend on the situation?  How do you feel about the statements of Jesus that He is truth and His Word is truth?

The apostle John writes that there is nothing that would bring him greater joy than to hear that those he had taught were walking in the truth.  As you pray, ask God to help you see, and remove, any falsehoods that you have accepted as truth.  Pray that those who have taught you the way of God would be filled with joy as they find you walking the path of truth.  Pray that you would always view God and his Word as the absolute authority on truth.  Pray that the people around you would know you as one who daily walks a path of truth.

In prayer,

Walk This Way: Walk a Straight Path

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take.  Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways.  Over the next 7 days I will be sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.

Here is day twenty-five with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path that is straight.

Walk a Straight Path

“Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.”
Proverbs 8:19-21 (NIV)

What is the shortest distance between two points?  How often do the detractors of your faith cause you to talk in circles around subjects that you have a clear view of according to God’s Word.  Do the people around you know where you stand in matters of right and wrong, of sin and judgment?  Do you avoid certain topics because you are afraid of being ridiculed for your beliefs?  Is it possible to walk a straight path in word and deed while still expressing God’s love to people?

David’s desire was that he would learn God’s ways and be led in a straight path because of his oppressors.  It seems he understood that the quickest path away from his oppressors, and perhaps into the heart of his oppressors, would be the straight one.  As you pray, ask God to help you walk a path that is straight.  Pray for the courage to give straight answers to all who question your beliefs and faith.  Pray for the wisdom to give answers with gentleness and respect.  Pray that the people around you would know where you stand with God as they see you walk a straight path.

In prayer,

Walk This Way: Walk a Shielded Path

Walk This Way: Walk a Shielded Path

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take.  Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways.  Over the next 8 days I will be sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.

Here is day twenty-four with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path with Him as your shield.

Walk a Shielded Path

“He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.”
Proverbs 8:19-21 (NIV)

Have you ever been in a situation where you feared for you safety?  What things are you afraid of?  If you could invent a shield that would completely protect you from one thing, what would it shield against?  Do you ever feel powerless in your attempts to resist temptation?  Why?  How confident would you walk if you knew that nothing could knock you off your path with God?  How many of the personal attacks against you would carry much weight if you were confident that you were blameless?

God says that we can walk a shielded path as He gives victory to those found blameless in Christ.  As you pray, ask God to seek His wisdom and understanding in living a life that can be blameless in His eyes.  Pray that you would have the courage to resist the devil as you carry the shield of faith.  Pray that you would have confidence in the shielding that God provides as He promises that nothing can separate you from His love.  Pray that the shielded path that you walk would help others see the protection that God provides to those who are His.

In prayer,

Tom
