Walking my talk?

Boldness, Faith, God's provision, Trust 1 Minute

Lately I’ve been wondering, and I walking my talk? Oh sure, I’ve got the lingo down and talk a good game, but am I backing it up with my life?

Is my behavior consistent with the Biblical truth I absorb from reading the Word? Am I living what I profess to believe? What am I absorbing and abiding in? Who am I allowing to be the Lord of my life?

Well, in calling to remembrance the things the Lord has done for me, I’ve tasted and seen who I can trust. Jesus. And it is His Name I call upon daily for help in answering these questions.

“God enjoys helping us along in our faith as we learn His Word, practice His presence, and stay so close to Him that His thoughts become our thoughts. He also loves to answer our prayers and see us become bolder in our walk and witness.” Charles Stanley

“And I am sure God who began the good work within me will keep right on helping me to grow in His grace until His task within me is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns.” (Based on Phil 1:6 [TLB])

This brings me such hope and peace, that He began the work, He is working it out in me, and I just need to do my part and remain close to and abide in Him.

Breathing a big sigh of relief right now!

I am a follower of Jesus with an insatiable hunger for the Word of God! I am doing my best to be obedient in sharing what I learn with others, with my own unique spin, using the way God made me, linear with a twist!

  3. I like the NLT:

    “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”
    ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

  4. This is such an encouraging post Cindi. I can cook and present our family meals, but the menu is created by the family which is a big help to me: which is akin to us as children of God walking the walk secure in the knowledge that He has our destination each day, and in the last day, all chosen for us. We just need to stay close to Him. God bless you today sister 🙏

  5. I too struggle with that question and usually wind up feeling like Paul, when he said…..I don’t do the things I want to do and I do the things I don’t want to do..(loose translation.) During the times i am doing the things i don’t want to do, i feel ashamed for not doing the things i know i should be doing, for forgetting to put God’s way first and for reacting with a knee jerk, habitual reaction. Yes, i ask for forgiveness, but the deed, word or thought has already been done. Each time, AFTER the fact, i repent. I have stumbled in my walk. I know that i will always stumble, but i really want to quit stumbling over the same block. Yes, i ask for His help for that too, but i am stubborn and willful.
