Learning to Walk

Scripture: 1 John 2: [6] Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

Observation: I do claim to be a Christian and I want to be the best one I can be in my heart, but I also know I don’t walk as Jesus did. I still have not died to myself and until I do that I can’t walk as Jesus did. Jesus walked to know the will of God and made that is number one priority. Unfortunately I’m my number one priority and until I change my focus I’ll always fall short of glorifying God.

Application: It’s time I pick up my cross and follow Jesus. It’s time I share the gospel and help others see the salvation of Christ. It’s time to stop wanting people to be impressed with me and point them to the cross of salvation. I know how Jesus walked, I need to follow His footsteps.

Prayer: Dear Father give me the heart of Jesus, that I may love your children as He did. That I would stop being so concerned about me and focus on how Jesus pleased you. May I hear your words, “this is my child with him I’m well pleased.”
