This week we’re having revival meetings at our home congregation<\/a>. Our visiting preacher is my cousin AH from Georgia. His message last night was on individualism. Wow! What an excellent message! I’ve got to talk to my friend LM about getting it in MP3 format so I can post it online.<\/p>\n

Anyway, about the meat of this post. In his devotional before the message, one of our local ministers (PT) read from and commented on Psalm 26.<\/p>\n

These two verses spoke to my heart in particular:<\/p>\n

“Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide”<\/font><\/b> (1).<\/p>\n

“For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth”<\/font><\/b> (3).<\/p>\n

That’s how I want to walk!<\/p>\n

Well, that seemed like a good “Search of the Day” candidate, but I opted to use my computer Bible instead of Google.<\/p>\n

Not many results. Here are two in the Outstanding to Me category:<\/p>\n

“If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity”<\/font><\/b> (Job 31:5,6).<\/p>\n

“And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.”<\/font><\/b> (Isaiah 38:3).<\/p>\n

I need to work on that. The talk part of Christianity is important; much more the walk part. If my faith in Jesus doesn’t direct my walk (that is, my life in every dimension), that faith is suspect. Like I said, I especially need to work on the walk part.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, it’s not just me at work on me. God Himself is the Master Craftsman!<\/p>\n

These days His work has me struggling in deep waters that seem to crash over my head and surge into my nose too often.<\/p>\n

So these two songs presented by Voice of Praise<\/a> in their Reunion<\/i> release have made new connections with me:
\n      • No, Not One<\/a>
\n      • Leaning on the Everlasting Arms<\/a><\/p>\n

God is greatest and John the Baptist was His prophet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
