Walk Like A Man...

There are many perceptions in today’s society of what a man is supposed to be. Some perceive that a man is the supreme ruler of his household; others see a man as someone who simply provides for his family.

 Then there are those who believe that making babies is the official seal of manhood while some see a man as this macho, pseudo-tough guy. How we’ve come to all of these conclusions is a mystery to me. None-the-less we’ve been taught time and time again that man was created in the image of God which is true, yet our everyday habits and actions would seem to reveal the image of another.

 Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have the same testimony as Enoch whom the Bible says walked with God? (Gen 9:24)  We have become creatures of habit who constantly walk in a way that seems right to us, but leads to our demise. (Proverbs 14:12) 

 The word of God teaches us what it truly means to be a man: “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doeth he meditate day and night.”  (Psalms 1:1-2)

In this day and age our walk is very vital to our relationship with God, but if we’re not walking as the Psalmist described, our example could be very harmful and detrimental to all those around us both spiritually and physically. Today, purpose in your heart, to walk according to the precepts found in Gods’ word.

 Let Him direct your path. (Ref. Proverbs 3:4-6)
