Walk
Worthy!
"If then you were raised with Christ,
seek those things which are above, where
Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God."
Colossians 3: 1
Oswald Chambers’ classic devotional,
My Utmost for His Highest, has been
treasured by millions since it was first
published by his widow in
1924.
In the devotional for February 11,
Chambers
wrote this simple sentence that has inspired
many to live for Christ: “Remember whose
you are and whom you
serve.”
Many
parents have sent a young adult child off to college,
or out into the world, with a similar exhortation. When the
road gets rough or waves get strong, remembering whom
we belong to, and whom we serve, can be a compass to
keep us on the right path. The New Testament says
something similar to Christians.
We belong to Christ and serve Him as Lord; therefore,
we have all the motivation we need for living in a way that
honors
Him. Paul put it simply: “Walk worthy of the calling
with which you were called” (Ephesians 4:1). Christ gave
His life for us; walking worthy of Him means living our life
for Him every day.
If you're in Christ today, let
every thought, word, and
deed be worthy of Him.
"Remember whose you
are and whom you serve."
Oswald Chambers
