FAITH CAPSULE: Make it a priority to examine your walk with God.
Matthew 14:22-33
Genesis 5:24 records, “Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.”
Enoch walked with God and did not miss his step on earth.
Noah also walked with God.
Genesis 6:9 states the walk of Noah, “…Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.”
The perfection in the life of Noah was the evidence of his walk with God. The Bible also recorded Abram’s walk with God, “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” (Genesis 17:1-2)
Enoch and Noah walked with God, but Abram walked before God.
Can it be that Abram ungraded walking with God by walking before God?
The point here is walking with God or before God is they all live to the fulfillment of their destiny by not falling away from God.
In this life journey, make it a priority to examine your walk with God.
To walk with God or to walk before God is walking in God.
Are you walking in the Lord or outside of God?
When you walk in the Lord, let every step you take become committed unto God.
When you walk in the Lord, He will be involved in your decision-making.
As a believer, walk by faith, not by the sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to take control of your walk?
The Spirit of God will not force on anyone.
Galatians 5:16 records, “Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”
Jesus points it out to all, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)
The Word of God is the Spirit of God.
Believers have much to gain by walking in the Spirit, and that is why a believer must stay focused on the Lord.
Peter walked on water because he maintained his focus when the Word commanded him to.
When he lost focus on the Word, he began to sink.
Are you focusing on Him despite delays in getting answers to your prayers?
Is the noise of the multitude growing all around you to disrupt your walk?
Acts 9:31, “Then the churches throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit they were multiplied.”
Without any doubt, walking in Him brings comfort and multiplication of blessings in every area of life.
Prayer for today: Ask to become able to walk in Him in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.
