I just finished reading day twenty of Rebecca St. Jame's Pure devotional. I just want to encourage all of my brothers and sisters in Christ not to be conformed to the thinking of this world, but be transformed in the renewing of your mind daily, as Paul instructed us. It can be difficult not to love this world and what it has to offer, such as wealth, self-honor, sexual pleasures, pride, etc. But, as children of the Most High, we are called to live our lives apart from this world, or purely for God. The things of this world are fading away, but the things of God will last forever. Rebecca St. James mentions, "We speak the loudest to non-Christians when we live out our faith."
Rebbeca St. James - "This should be our daily prayer: 'God, show me how to live a life that's more pleasing to You.'"
Amen,Sister! To walk daily with Christ means we are ACTIVELY pursuing His teachings as found in the Bible. Unless we have HIS truth in us (everyday), we aren't walking with Him. Just as we are immersed in the baptismal waters, we must (daily) be immersed in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Be continually filled with the Spirit....that's a daily walk.
