For you have been called to live in freedom,… use your freedom to serve one another in love.

July 18, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is about letting the light of Christ shine in your words and deeds.

A verse…

For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters … use your freedom to serve one another in love.
Galatians 5:13 (NLT)

A thought… from Life for Leaders Daily Devotion

Let the light of Christ shine in our words and deeds. We are to live in such a way that deeds of darkness will be seen to be fruitless in comparison to the abundant fruit of light that grows in our lives.

A devotion… from Life for Leaders Daily Devotion

Exposing the Deeds of Darkness, Part 3
https://lifeforleaders.depree.org/exposing-the-deeds-of-darkness-part-3/

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Ephesians 5:11-14

A prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for today. For all Your blessings. For each of mine. Thank You for drawing me to Your light by Your grace and through Your Spirit. Thank You for adopting me as a child of the light. Help me, I pray, to shine with Your light today. May I radiate with Your goodness, righteousness, and truth. May people around me see Your light in me and give you glory. May those who live in darkness be drawn to You through my live demonstration of the Gospel. I ask You Lord to shine Your light upon and through me today as I go about my walk. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

They do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world. Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.

One Walk with Jesus is about being in the world but not of the world…

A verse…

They do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world. Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.

“What took place in the upper room changed the lives of these men and women and would change the course of human history. This experience of the Holy Spirit is an encounter available to everyone; it is not reserved for a select few.”

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

A verse…

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 NLT

A thought… from Daily Catholic Wisdom

At this point, it is extremely important to keep in mind that a person is not bad because he has a temptation. Many believe, because they have a temptation to pride, to avarice, to hate, to lust, that there is something wrong with them. There is nothing wrong with you if you are tempted. You are not tempted because you are evil; you are tempted because you are human. There is nothing intrinsically evil about human nature just because a little devil knocks at the door. Evil begins only when we open the door and consent to the temptation. Scripture praises the man who suffers temptations. When we resist temptations, we strengthen our character.
Ven. Fulton J. Sheen

Ephesians 5:11-14

A prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for this day. For each of mine. For all Your blessings. For today’s song, verse, thought and devotion. I must admit that the passage we are studying in today’s devotion makes me rather nervous. I’m not sure I like the idea of exposing the fruitless deeds of darkness. I’m so aware of the darkness that remains in my life. Who am I to expose anything in the lives of others? And the last thing I want to do is to become one of those Christians who majors in telling others their sins and railing against the world. Yet I receive your Word as truth. Help me, I pray, to know what you are saying to me and to your church through this verse. Teach me how I can “have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

“The Lord directs the steps of the godly… Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.”

July 15, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is about holding onto His hand…

A verse…

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
Colossians 3:1 (NLT)

A thought… from Jesus Calling for Kids by Sarah Young

"We are on a wonderful journey together. Though our ultimate goal is heaven, there are lots of adventures all along the way…In good times, we leap up to the mountaintops. In difficult times, I hold your hand and keep you from falling. But at all times, I am beside you as we go along the path of Life."

"The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand."
Psalm 37:23–24 (NLT)

I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

One Walk with Jesus is about suffering afflictions and going the second mile for others…

Suffering Afflictions and Going the Second Mile

A verse… from Today’s Devotion

I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
Matthew 5:39

A thought… from Today’s Devotion

In the natural realm, if a person does not hit back, it is because he is a coward. But in the spiritual realm, it is the very evidence of the Son of God in him if he does not hit back.

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for thank You for today. For each blessing. For each of mine. For showing us what love really is. Is not easy to love like You do. That’s why we have to let Your love follow through us. Likening our heart to Yours. And getting out of Your way by dying to ourselves. Letting Your light shine through us. For give us when we react defensively, humble us before You. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind.

One Walk with Jesus is about being an example…

A verse…

And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind.
Titus 2:7 (NLT)

Somethings to think about… from Daily Catholic Wisdom

The religion that attempts to drive a wedge between the whole realm of Faith and the actual textures of physical life is a religion that has perhaps not granted to the Incarnation the full extent of the mysteries that attach to it and flow from it, and that make our mortal life fruitful once more.
Thomas Howard
from Evangelical Is Not Enough

The world may scoff and tell you there is no Devil and no battle. But the world has been blinded to these realities by the Enemy himself. It’s skepticism is part of his stealth strategy: Those who deny his existence are an easy prey.
Paul Thigpen, Ph.D.

The Greatest Commandment: In Every Place and At All Times
https://lifeforleaders.depree.org/the-greatest-commandment-in-every-place-and-at-all-times/

Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart… Talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise.
Deuteronomy 6:6, 7b

A prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for today and for the opportunities within it to honor You. For each of mine. For every blessing.
Lord Jesus, forgive us for reducing your Lordship to a mere personal and private matter. We confess that you are Lord, not only of our hearts, but also of all things visible and invisible, public and private, including all that we are and have. Help us to live in such a way that our private and public lives honor you and your rule. Grant us both insight and virtue to follow you.

In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

One Walk with Jesus is about walking with Your friend…

Haven Today… Friendship in an Unfriending World

The Christian life is usually viewed as a single conversion experience. You pray the prayer, walk the aisle, and commit your life to Jesus. But what happens next? Allow the Gospel of Mark to shed light on what it means to follow and befriend Jesus when you listen to the next HAVEN Today with Charles Morris and the final part of a series called "Friendship in an Unfriending World."

Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

Acts 4:12

A prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for today. For each of mine. For all Your blessings and grace. For being my friend. As I sit here, in Your Word, reading devotions and listening to music about You, I feel You drawing me in. Above and concerns or worries, above the unfriendly world. Through the long, hot days. Stay with me and mine, carry us when we get tired. Comfort us and wrap us in Your peace. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
