Walk the Line

Colossians 2:6 Therefore, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, walk in Him.

Walk in Him, what an amazing phrase yet one that I so often take for granted as I walk through this life. I take it for granted because so often I find myself trying to live life on my own. Trying to do righteous things without Christ strength or guidance and I often find myself floundering and not really accomplishing much. It is when I know that I am being directed and that walking is in His strength that I find rest and success. I think Hebrews 12:1-1 really sums it up for me that I must throw off the sin that so easily gets me tangled up and slows down my walk and fix my eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of my faith. I must as 1 Corinthians 9 says run in such a way as to get the prize. Today as get up and walk this road called life may I find myself doing so in Christ strength and with Him as my guide.

Father take my hand today and lead me along life's road so that I might go where you want me to go and do what you want me to do.
