Day 3 - Talk As You Walk

Psalm 3:1-8
1. Walk with you head held high
God does not want you to be downcast - constantly looking at the regrets behind you, the problems around you and the sin within you. Rather, he wants you to lift up your head and see the help above you - to walk with your head held high, and your eyes fixed on him.
David was able to say, 'I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side.' In spite of all the troubles, he seems to have a deep peace - like a lake where there may be rough waves on the surface, but deeper down there is a great stillness.

Lord, I pray for the year ahead that you would help me to walk with you daily in the way of peace, with my head held high, trusting you to supply all I need for the day ahead.

Matthew 2:19-3:17
2. Walk in step with the Holy Spirit
Meaning of walking 'in step with the Spirit':
1) Get refined in the fire
The Holy Spirit will come like a refining fire to bring power and purity in your life. Knowing the refining fire of the Spirit in this life means that you can be free form the fear of the fire of judgement when Jesus returns.
2) Be filled with peace
The fruit of the Sprit is peace
3) Be assured of your adoption
all of us that through what Jesus has done for us, we too are sons and daughters of God: You receive the spirit of adoption
4) know that you are loved by God
God's love for you is poured into your heart by the Holy Spirit
5) Feel his pleasure

Lord, thank you that you give me your Holy Spirit to refine me, to give me peace, to assure me that I am a child of God, to know your love and to feel your pleasure. Help me to walk in step with the Spirit.

Genesis 4:17-6:22
3. Walk in relationship with God
 Human beings are the pinnacle of God's creation. God created us to walk in relationship with him.
Evil starts in our thinking and imagination - that is, in our hearts. It is a case of 'garbage in, garbage out.' We need to watch not just our actions but also our thoughts, attitudes, motives and imagination.

Lord, help me to be righteous and blameless in my thoughts, words and deeds, walking with you in a close relationship. Help me to do everything you tell me to do.
