How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O LORD, they walk in the light of Your countenance. (1)
Living in the power of Christ brings me daily to the throne of God. Each day I pray that God will mold my clay feet to walk in the light of His ways. How vitally important it is to be a pure vessel. To be presented faultless before God’s throne. I’ve become more aware of God’s presence in praying this simple little prayer.
“Lord mold my clay feet to walk in Your ways, guide me into Your truth.”
Our precious Savior is actively working in your life each day, too. God wills for you to come and experience Him also, on a much deeper level. It is in crisis your full attention is on Him…in these moments an urgent cry is lifted to God, and He meets you where you are. Those who long for relief open a door for a Savior to come in and manifest Himself. You see, your needs put you at advantage point, that of spiritual gain. These troubles keep working to increase your faith guiding you into truth. He has given all necessary tools to live triumphant in Christ.
“Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (2)
The most important tool we have is to study God’s Word. Then we can know without a shadow of a doubt God’s character, and attributes. Knowing God will increase faith. And faith will testify to what you believe and give assurance of your salvation. God’s Word is the sweetest love letter ever. He loves you so much He’s given you the Living Word, where you can be encouraged to find hope as other believers have found. For example, the Apostle Paul taught sound doctrine in many letters that he wrote. Today, these nuggets of truth provide us security through the crisis of life. They’re our anchor! “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (3) The more God’s promises are claimed, the greater increase of spiritual empowerment we embrace to live victoriously. When you experience the love of Jesus flowing through you it is powerful. He lives in you to shine for His glory. How in tune are you with the Lord’s gentle promptings to live His way? Or to put it another way, are you daily living in the power of Christ? Do the inconveniences of this world distract you from following Him?
Let’s be diligent to pray and to seek God’s direction. In these tender moments of seeking God, He is waiting to reveal Himself to you. Purpose and meaning are complete when you become a part in God’s kingdom, and live for Him. He has great plans for you!
May you come to God and commit all your instruments (hands, eyes, ears, heart, etc.) to Him. Not only will your feet walk in His ways, but also your hands Will serve Him, lips will proclaim His truths, eyes and ears to be trained to discern good and evil and know how to live for His glory. Yield your heart, soul, mind and spirit that God may consecrate them to use them as instruments of rightness.
O Heavenly Father, mold these clay feet to walk in Your path and to learn Your truths. Take these hands and move them to do Your work, Your way. Cause my frail heart to beat along with Yours and I will savor the sweetest divine love from above. May my praise and adoration bring You glory. Amen!
