“WALK WORTHY OF THE LORDâ€
Colossians 1:10 is part of Paul’s prayer for the Colossian believers.
When we walk worthy of the Lord we fulfill two things:
1. We live (or walk) to please the Lord.
Jesus said, “I do those things that please the Father.†This was most clearly seen in His obedience to God’s will for His life. (“Not my will, but Thine be done.â€)
Jeremiah 7:23 says,“Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.â€
2. We live to up our potential in the Lord.
—“being fruitful in every good work†Every woman wants to be productive and effective. This is the key. As we live to please our Heavenly Father, He fills in the gaps of our inadequacies and miraculously energizes our work with goodness and fruitfulness. There is no human explanation for this phenomenon.
—“increasing in the knowledge of God†There is nothing greater than to develop and grow in knowing God Himself. Jesus said in John 17:3, “This is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.â€
When we walk with the Lord, in the light of His Word, what a glory He sheds on our way. When we do His good will, He abides with us still… (“Trust and Obeyâ€)
