Our Footsteps

This morning I read the verse 1 John 2:6 which says “the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked”. It reminded me of why I named this blog ‘Our Footsteps’… because the Bible is clear as to how we ought to walk. The steps we (I) take along the way each day she be a crystal clear reflection of what Christ has done in our lives. We ought to be walking as He walked: with love, compassion, humility, gentleness and in all obedience and faith. Check out these verses:

Psalm 34:23 - The steps of a man are established by the LORD,
And He delights in his way.

Psalm 119:133 - Establish my footsteps in Thy Word.

Proverbs 4:11-12 - I have directed you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in upright paths.
When you walk, your steps will not be impeded;
And if you run, you will not stumble.

Proverbs 16:9 - The mind of man plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps.

Proverbs 20:11 - It is by his deeds that a lad distinguishes himself
If his conduct is pure and right.

Ephesians 4:1-3 - Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace

Ephesians 5:1-2; 8; 15-16
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma… For you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light. Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.
