Choose to Walk with Christ – Day 14 on a 14 Day Walk with Christ

Christmas, Walk with Christ 1 Minute

Over time I’ve found that the most important thing we can do to stay close to our Savior Jesus Christ is to intentionally choose to walk with Him.

We must make an effort each day to connect with Him. We must regularly study His life and His teachings. We must use the sacred powerful gift of prayer to commune with Him. We must choose to remember and honor the covenants we have made with Him. And we have to choose to do these things again and again, day after day. If we do not, we slowly drift away from Him and become lost in the worries of the world.

But if we will choose to do these things we can collect on the promise made in Isaiah 40:

31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Song: Unto Us by Aaron Shust

Song: Emanuel God With Us by Point of Grace

Christmas and studying the Nativity are such a great annual reminder for me to check my bearings, assess my priorities, and to determine where adjustments need to be made. Then I take the week between Christmas and New Year’s and decide on a focus word I want to use during the upcoming year.

Challenge: What will your focus word be for 2019 to help you more steadily walk with Christ?

The things that give me the most joy in my life are my God, my husband, my children, and creating things that bring joy to others. God has blessed me with so many gifts and talents and I know He expects me to use them to bless the lives of others. On my journey with Him I have learned so much about His love and the peace and happiness He wants us to feel in life. I started the blog "Finding the Eye of the Storm" as a way to show my gratitude to Him and to hopefully use the things He has taught me to help others find that same peace and joy that is only available through the atonement of His Divine Son. Aside from this blog, I spend my days facilitating a Facebook scripture study group (Scripture Study 365) and designing and creating flannel board stories and downloads to help parents and teachers share their love for Jesus Christ and His teachings with the children they love. I also have a number of classic stories and songs for teachers in a traditional classroom.
