Pace – Sheriena McEversPace yourself. Don’t run ahead of your Savior. Everyday life is a walk, a long walk. It is a marathon, a walking marathon. Daily life can be trying, monotonous and nothing special. However, His presence can make life special. Living for Him changes our perspective and motivation, making all we need to do worthwhile.
Don’t let the whole year be your focus. Day by day is where life is found. All of those days will equal a year. Today, choose to take your eyes off the problems in your life and focus on Jesus. He wants you to walk with Him in the present, the next five minutes, the next five hours. He will never leave you. Look to Him. Allow Him to live through you. He will deal with your problems if you allow Him.
Above all, keep your eyes on Jesus. Many issues of life try to get our attention. Peter sank because he took his focus off Jesus and looked at his circumstances.
Political and social turmoil cause us much stress. Everyday life with its problems can cause tension and worry. But if we keep our eyes on Jesus, He will enable us to deal with life while walking in His peace.
Walking daily with Christ as our life will keep us on a high plain. There might even be an occasional mountaintop experience, but they are not what we rely upon. We rely on the daily life of Christ in us. He lives in our spirit and wants to live through us. Let’s allow Him to walk out His life through us as we make room for Him in our everyday life.
For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. Ephesians 5:8 ESVFather God, Help us to pace our walk, keeping pace with You, our Savior. Contact
