How To Walk Wisely

Once you have come to accept Christ as your personal savior, and you are seriously wanted to let Him give you victory from your "strongholds", there are seven elements to a consistent Christ-cenetered lifestyle.

Determination: Walking in wisdom is not something that happens automatically. We must decide ahead of time to pursue godly living wholeheartedly.

Focus; To stay on the path of God's will in our lives, we must fix our attention on His Word. As we mediate on Scripture and let it's truth be absorbed into our minds, we will align ourselves with Christ, and our choices will be in tune with biblical principles.

Spirit Sensitivity: As we develop a determination to live a holy life style and as we pay close attention to the Scriptures, we become more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and He will show us direction that we are to take in our daily walk with Him.

Trust: There are times that in our thinking, the Lord's choices for us are not sensible; in other words, they may seem foolish or require a sacrifice. trusting in His perfect wisdom is necessary if we are to walk according to His divine plan for our lives.

Courage: Sometimes, the things that God requires of us may make us fearful. But, as our faith and trust in Him grows and deepens, our courage will grow also, and we will discover the wonderful joy of embracing His choice for us.

Perseverance: It is one thing to start out on the right path, but maintaining the course is a different matter. We can only choose and stay constant over a long period of time by depending on God, and God alone. Nothing else will work.

Wisdom: Walking with God requires that we constantly practice a few basics:

• know God,
• trust Him,
• listen to Him.
• and obey Him.

Is this your desire and pattern for your life?

REMEMBER, a lifetime of godliness develops one choice at a time.
