Are you walking in love?

Paul challenged the Christians of his day to watch their walk in God. A Christian’s walk should match their words. Paul beseeched (implored, begged) them to walk worthy of their calling. This was very serious to Paul. Part of our evangelism is to walk out the gospel (good news) wherever we go, so that people could see Jesus in and through us. He went on to say: with all lowliness and gentleness….. We see so many Christians walking with hostility and offense against each other. Too many have no patience or longsuffering. These are works of the flesh. If we are not walking in love, the only other option is to walk in the flesh. That is where one will see hate, offense, bitterness, pride, arrogance, vengeance etc. God’s word clearly teaches us to walk in love. Always remember: God is love!

Ephesians 4:1 – I, therefore, the prisoner [a]of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

He gives His angels charge over thee!

In 2 cases in the book of Acts, the scriptures share that God sent angels to deliver and protect His people. When the enemy came to arrest the prophet Elisha, angels surrounded his home to protect him. In Matthew 26:53, Jesus says this about the Father’s ability to protect Him: “Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels”? We live in a world where there is a lot of violence, but remember that God is your protector. Give God thanks every day for His divine protection over your life as well as your family. Whether you see them or not, God has sent angels to protect you, so thank the Father for these precious ministers of protection.

Psalms 91: 7, 8 – A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
