The Be Attitudes of the Christian Walk – Be Filled

What I really needed was to allow the Lord to fill me with joy, hope, peace and the power of the Holy Spirit. But how can we do that when we are too spent to even acknowledge our depletion? 

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Faithful

It was at Calvary—our true Redemption Rock—that the ultimate ransom was paid, once and for all. His faithfulness carried Him to the cross; now, our daily challenge is to live faithfully in response to the One who created and redeemed us.

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Comforted

He let me have my say, and then reminded me that He too offers comfort that is rejected out of hand. He wants to provide for us and give us life abundantly – and yet we (the collective we) run to friends, food, shopping, exercise, or chocolate (or as I did yesterday my Matcha Frap from Starbucks) to give us that comfort.

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Free 

While we celebrate the freedom we have in our country this week, let us not forget that our true freedom comes in knowing that this life is a only a bump in the road compared to eternity, and our physical address has “Temporary Home” stamped on the mailbox. Heaven is our home. It is where we will find perfect and eternal freedom. When we are with the Lord, our souls will no longer have an un-quenched longing for freedom and independence. We will finally be free, free at last. 

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Hungry: Craving Righteousness in a Spiritually Starving World

God’s Word is the best restaurant to fill our hungry souls. Drinking from the Living Water helps us stop thirsting after what the world offers.

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Light 

This world can feel like a fierce and stormy sea. Fear, confusion, pain, and division often rule and seem to be the only things visible to a lost world. But God has placed His people like beacons along the shore to burn brightly – to guide the lost to a new home, warn of danger, and offer comfort. 

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Behold the Lamb

“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 Imagine Abraham and Isaac climbing the mountain to build an altar and offer a sacrifice. They had the wood, fire, and tools—but no lamb. When Isaac questioned the absence of a lamb, Abraham answered with faith: “God will provide.” (Genesis 22) GodContinue reading “The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Behold the Lamb”

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Vigilant

That night in Yosemite reminded me of how the enemy operates. The devil, like a roaring lion, seeks to devour us. He wants to scare us, rob us of our precious resources, and teach his disciples how to do the same. We can never let down our guard. We must always be vigilant, guarding our hearts and minds, lest the predator make us his prey. 

The Be- Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Transformed 

I love spring. The rains wash the world and clease the air. New life is all around me. The bright yellow and black oriole returns to my yard, and the worship songs of the sparrows chase away the darkness of winter storms.

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Prayerful

God knows our needs before we voice them. But He still appreciates a gracious appeal for those needs and a heart of gratitude when we recognize He is the one providing.

The Be Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Forgiven

Friends, we do not have to carry a knapsack full of guilt around with us. We can lay our burden at the foot of the cross and NEVER pick it up again. We are told that our Father has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west. And the east never meets the west!
