How do I walk…
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Col.2.6
I try to maintain walking at least 8000 steps per day…that may be at the pool, outside, on a treadmill, around the house, wherever…
This past year and a half has been trying with hip decay, surgery and recovery..I went from the 8000 down to less than 2000 painful steps…the goal was to stay as active as I could, heal and recover strength after surgery, whether in a wheelchair, walker, cane, walking sticks and finally unassisted …persistence, good physical therapists, training, adding new exercises for strength and healing, listening and obeying, focus…became key elements…it couldn’t be ship-shod or sloppy or there would be no growth or recovery…it had to be applied and used…this all was not without pain of growth…
Our walk in Christ is similar, but with some different elements…
I need diligence in staying in the Word, listening to the Truth of the Holy Spirt….good teaching from Godly pastors, others in my realm…good counsel…right focus on what God is trying to teach me…and then practice, practice, practice…on a daily basis…and this all is not without pain of growth…as well…
Both include rejoicing in the big and little achievements, praise in all things-painful or not, a right attitude…and thanksgiving…
Thank YOU…
Walk by faith…
“Our walk with Gods must be rooted in faith—-and therefore rooted in Him, not us”….
