Walk Worthy

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:10

That “new man” is then empowered to “walk worthy.” Ephesians 4:24

I was just reading about Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt who was proudly serving our country as a Navy Chaplain who was found guilty of worshiping in public by a Navy judge. He had prayed in Jesus’ name in his uniform on national television. He was honorably discharged, lost his 16-year million-dollar pension, his home, and the honor of serving his country.

Despite his loss, he took comfort in the fact that he was finally found worthy to share in Christ’s suffering.

The story doesn’t end there. After hearing of this injustice, a tidal wave of support formed across the heart of America. 520 newspapers reported on his persecution rallying 300,000 faithful Americans, thirty-five pro-family groups, and seventy-five lawmakers who all petitioned the President to reverse the Navy’s policy targeting Christians. Congress vindicated him for his standing and protecting religious freedom.

Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, please guide us to all pleasing, fruitful good works which will spread the knowledge of God to others. Please empower us with your spirit to “walk worthy.” Amen.
