TO WALK WORTHY OF GOD!
 
To be worthy means to have the necessary qualities that befit a person or position. The person that we want to be worthy of is God because He has called us to be a subject in His kingdom.
 
There is nothing in this world that is higher than God. In every positive metric of comparison, God is always the absolute highest and greatest. He is the sovereign Ruler over the whole of His creation. He is the all-perfect, all-wise and all-holy God.
 
As God’s children, we have been ushered into His kingdom. We have been granted the full forgiveness of all our sins and have the glorious promise of all of eternity with God in heaven. He rules over us as our Lord and Master, and we as humble and faithful servants submit to Him. He assures us of His presence with, and guidance of, us on earth.
 
In this life, our purpose then is to walk worthy of the calling that God has for us as His saints. It is the highest calling that anyone can ever have. It is a great honour and privilege to be granted such a calling. We must remember who we are. We are all sinners, lost and undone. Left to ourselves we can never be worthy. No, we do not even come close. It is only through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ that we can hope to stand before God and be found worthy. In God’s grace, He has accepted us in Christ and called us His sons and daughters.
 
Understanding all these things, it is most natural and logical to want to live up to this calling and to be worthy of all the wonderful privileges that have been accorded to us. We will want to seek to please Him in all that we do, draw close to Him and obey His Word. We will never want to disappoint Him, but rather to live for His glory and delight. Then when we finally meet Him in glory, He will welcome us as His good and faithful servants.
 
THOUGHT: Without Christ, I can never be worthy.
PRAYER: Father, may Thou help me to walk worthy of Thee, pleasing Thee, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of Thee.
