Walk Worthy

“...so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord...” Col 1:10

The Bible likens the Christian experience to walking. It is a voluntary, progressive action with a goal - very different from what many Christians experience.

This verse continues: in manner worthy of the Lord. Since you know from Scripture that you are not worthy by your own righteous deeds, then Paul the petitioner has something else in mind.

See how Paul exhorted the Philippians: "Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ...” Philip 1:27

Act like who you are! Resemble the One whose name you bear. Be spiritually fit.

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior.” I Peter 1:14-15

How can you walk worthy of Lord? Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus. His attitude was one of humility.

Ask God today to help you walk in a manner worthy of Him. Walk in holiness and humility by the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, who is in you.

Make your walk a progressive action toward this goal.
