Walking unnoticed

Walking with Jesus

OneWalk: Under the Sun, with the Son

Today’s Thought, Bible Verse & Reading, Devotion, Worship Song and Prayer

A thought…
To walk as one with Jesus, His presence must become so natural that He is reflected in everything you do and say.

A verse…

Blessed are the poor in spirit…
Matthew 5:3

A reading…
Matthew 5:3-11

The Beatitudes

A devotion…
The Ministry of the Unnoticed
My Utmost for His Highest
https://utmost.org/the-ministry-of-the-unnoticed/

…Conscious influence is prideful and unchristian. If I wonder if I am being of any use to God, I instantly lose the beauty and the freshness of the touch of the Lord…

…In the Christian life, godly influence is never conscious of itself. If we are conscious of our influence, it ceases to have the genuine loveliness which is characteristic of the touch of Jesus. We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.

Walking in awareness with awareness

Walking with Jesus

OneWalk: Under the Sun, with the Son

Today’s Thought, Bible Verse & Reading, Devotion, Worship Song and Prayer

A thought…
The best way to know yourself is to get to know Jesus. Open your heart, mind and spirit to Him. Turn to Him in good times and bad times. Never let anything or anyone come between you and Him. Keep your focus on Him.

A verse…

Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 NLT

A reading…
Matthew 11:25,27-30 NLT
[25] At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: "O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. [27] "My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." [28] Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."

A devotion or two…
Self-Awareness
My Utmost for His Highest
https://utmost.org/self-awareness/

Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it. Beware of allowing the influence of your friends or your circumstances to divide your life.

< ><

Christ-Awareness
My Utmost for His Highest
https://utmost.org/christ-awareness/

Whenever anything begins to disintegrate your life with Jesus Christ, turn to Him at once, asking Him to re-establish your rest. Never allow anything to remain in your life that is causing the unrest.

Walking or Wandering

August 19, 2018

Walking with Jesus

OneWalk: Under the Sun, with the Son

Today’s Thought, Bible Verse & Reading, Devotion, Worship Song and Prayer

A thought…
How often do you wonder why? Why you wonder about what you do? Why you do and say what you do? Where you spend your time and with who? How you affect those around you and whose path you cross each day?

A verse…

"LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered- how fleeting my life is.
Psalm 39:4 NLT

Some reading…
From Daily Catholic Wisdom

For at present we all tend to one mistake; we tend to make politics too important. We tend to forget how huge a part of a man’s life is the same under a Sultan and a Senate, under Nero or St. Louis. Daybreak is a never-ending glory, getting out of bed is a never-ending nuisance; food and friends will be welcomed; work and strangers must be accepted and endured; birds will go bedwards and children won’t, to the end of the last evening.

—G.K. CHESTERTON
from the essay What’s Right with the World,
found in In Defense of Sanity

A prayer…
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Savior, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered- how fleeting my life is (Psalm 39:4). We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it (Psalm 39:6). And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you (Psalm 39:7). Amen

Devoted to Walking or Discouraged by the Walk

August 17, 2018

Walking with Jesus

OneWalk: Under the Sun, with the Son

Today’s Thought, Bible Verse & Reading, Devotion, Worship Song and Prayer

A thought…
The Kingdom I speak of, that I live for, is like the water out in the sea. Man lives for that cup of water that slips through His fingers, but those that follow Jesus Christ live for that endless expanse of sea.
From Paul, Apostle of Christ

A verse…

…Jesus…said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have…and come, follow Me." But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
Luke 18:22-23

A reading…
Luke 18:18-29
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+18%3A18-29&version=NLT

WHAT JESUS IS REALLY AFTER – LUKE 18:18-25

The question the young man asks is not that unusual, but it is unusual for him to call Jesus “good.” Most Jews use that adjective only when they’re speaking about God (Psalm 25:7-8; 145:9). Does he recognize Jesus as the Son of God? Apparently not, so Jesus reminds him of a few commandments. Of course the rich ruler has kept the laws that Jesus mentions—what religious Jew doesn’t? Jesus isn’t suggesting that keeping these laws is the secret to eternal life; he’s giving the young man an opportunity to discover and reflect on his own flaws. That’s the purpose of the law—to help us recognize our own sinfulness (Romans 3:19-20).

Because the rich man is clearly blind to his love of worldly possessions, a violation of the 10th commandment (Exodus 20:17), Jesus asks him to do something that will reveal his personal sin. He asks him to trade his earthly possessions for treasure in heaven. And that, it turns out, is just too much to ask.

Wealth in itself is not a sin, nor is charity the key to salvation, but until we recognize and repent of our own sins, we can’t be saved. According to Jesus, materialism is a major stumbling block for many people.

A devotion…
Are You Discouraged or Devoted?
My Utmost for His Highest
https://utmost.org/are-you-discouraged-or-devoted/

Jesus says a tremendous amount to us that we listen to, but do not actually hear. And once we do hear Him, His words are harsh and unyielding.

< ><

We are only what we are in the dark; all the rest is reputation. What God looks at is what we are in the dark—the imaginations of our minds; the thoughts of our heart; the habits of our bodies; these are the things that mark us in God’s sight.

Wisdom from Oswald Chambers

A prayer…
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Savior. I only find rest in You. Rest and peace. The kind of peace this world under the sun doesn’t understand. Your truths are harsh and unyielding, and the more corrupt we are by the ways under the sun. The harsher, unyielding and harder they become. But we have hope in You. So I cling to this hope and to Your Words and promises. I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank You. Amen

Today’s Thought, Bible Verse & Reading, Devotion, Worship Song and Prayer

A thought…
‘Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.’ My Utmost for His Highest, August 13th

A verse…

Walking with the Holy Spirit

August 15, 2018

Walking with Jesus

OneWalk: Under the Sun, with the Son

Today’s Thought, Bible Verse & Reading, Devotion, Worship Song and Prayer

A thought…
Overthinking what to do or say can be as bad as not thinking about it before you do or say it. Seeking to do God’s will is one thing, doing it is another.

A verse…

Do not quench the Spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:19

A reading…
1 Thessalonians 5

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Thessalonians+5&version=NLT

A devotion…
“Do Not Quench the Spirit”
My Utmost for His Highest
https://utmost.org/do-not-quench-the-spirit/

The voice of the Spirit of God is as gentle as a summer breeze— so gentle that unless you are living in complete fellowship and oneness with God, you will never hear it. The sense of warning and restraint that the Spirit gives comes to us in the most amazingly gentle ways. And if you are not sensitive enough to detect His voice, you will quench it, and your spiritual life will be impaired.
