I want to be transparent with my brothers and sisters in Christ (in all I do and say) so I’ve shared this truth (or better said confessed my sin) of not having a constant walk with Christ with the Men’s Small Group and with the Monday Night’s Small Group. I’ve studied to the furthest points in preparing to preach through the gospel of John and in preparing to teach through Hebrews but I have stopped feeding myself God’s Word. One day turned into a week and a week turned in a month and so on. I told myself that I was busy doing God’s work; too busy to eat. The Holy Spirit kept reminding me that Martha was too busy to seat at His feet and learn but Mary made the time to seat at His feet. My make-up is more like Martha than Mary but I need to stop and seat at my Master’s feet and learn of Him.
I can always tell when I’m not walking like I should when my temper isn’t as long as it usually is. The last week, my spirit has been dark to the point I just wanted to do nothing. That is not me at all. I just read two chapters of Revelation and man it was so sweet to my soul. I felt the loving embrace of my Lord welcoming to His feet. My dark mood is replaced with peace. I had forgotten what it feels like to seat and rest in my Master’s arms. Only one word can describe it; AWESOME.
I write this only to encourage you to keep your walk constant. If you have a good walk then great; it’s so easy to allow ministry to keep us from our true calling of knowing our Savior and learning from Him. That can only be done in reading His Words and speaking with Him. With teaching through Hebrews, I’ve been reminded that we can go to our Heavenly Father boldly through his Son anytime we want. The Old Testament people had to go through the priest and the high priest could only enter God’s presence once a year.
May God grant you peace in your daily walk with Him.
