Stairway To Heaven

 

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God; trust also in Me.” –Jesus (John 14: 1-2)

Jesus makes it clear that the most direct path to heaven is to walk the high road with Him.  Unfortunately, many of us veer off path.  The good Lord knows that I have veered 'off-road' too many times to count over the course of my lifetime.  

When we are following God's lead, it is by no means a cakewalk, but it's a submission to God's lead, step by step. The low road is twisting and turning, dark and ominous, and one that is easy to end up travelling on.

We may find ourselves on the wrong road by relying on our own strength and limited resources.  It’s when we place our absolute trust in Jesus Christ that He makes our paths straight and His glorious light shines bright!

Walkin'

 

For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ.  Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.  Colossians 2: 5-7

It seems like yesterday that our youngest son, Elijah, was transitioning from crawling to walking, but now he's growing up way too quick. Elijah is now a 7th grader and  our oldest, Elliott, is a 10th grader in high school who is driving and now has a job, which is still hard to believe.

Many Christians associate faith with their salvation experience, but after we enter into a relationship with Christ, we must learn to walk with Him the remainder of our days on this earth.

We live in a performance driven society and many Christians also view their Christian life the same way.  God is not as concerned with our individual performance as He is with our faith.  When you think about it, we receive Christ in faith, so why would that change once we begin our walk with the Lord?

So what does walking with Christ entail?  We must learn to plant our roots in Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and build our foundation through obedience.  Finally, and over time, we must trust Him, which ultimately makes our faith grow exponentially.

Walking with Christ is a continuous process that will more than likely last the remainder of your lifetime, but as you trust God and your faith grows stronger, you will live in the stability of His love and blessings regardless of any circumstance you face.
