Re:Verse passage – Colossians 2:1-7 (day seven)
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him (Colossians 2:6)
We are called to walk in Jesus. Walk. Not sit or take off in a fighter jet, but walk. We all seem to want to do anything other than walk in Jesus. We will plop ourselves down and do nothing, or we’ll walk around with every burden we’ve ever thought of on our back slowing to a crawl with such weight on our shoulders.
And there are others of us who get it in our heads that we can run ahead of Jesus like we know where we’re going. We’ll hop on a unicycle, juggling flaming knives hoping Jesus sees us in all our glory.
Why can’t we just walk in Jesus?
I guess one answer why we have trouble just “walking with Jesus” is we often are left not so certain at any moment of time which direction that takes us, so we often veer off course. I know I’m guilty of failing to walk with Jesus even when I think I am. I’ll continue to try to learn better the signs of His leadership.
