Walking Worthily

Lady of Light

In Ephesians 4:1-6, the apostle Paul reminds us "Walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love: Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

I lived in a city where there were 85 churches - large and small, all competing with each other. This was certainly not in agreement with keeping the unity of the Spirit.
Often, if we are not careful, we do not experience the unity of Christ and the peace that He offers because we differ with people because they go to different churches etc.]

But Paul continues to remind us that there is One Lord, One Faith, One baptism and One God and Father of all, who is above all and through all, and in you all." (v. 5-7)

This realization should help us to "walk worthy" and to forbear one another in love.
We all serve the same God. He is over ALL of us.

Recognize that we have been called to a vocation. This is true spiritually, as well as in other areas of our lives - some of us are professionals, parents, wives, husbands - called to walk worthy in all areas of our lives.

Try today, to thank God for all of the "vocations" to which you have been called and to ask him to give you the right attitude - forbearance and may you be blessed in all that you do.

God bless you and have a great day!
