There are days when you feel spiritually down. Days when you feel you’ve succumbed one too many a time and not brought honor to the Lord, very well knowing that it was because you chose not to walk circumspectly. They can be very dreary times indeed. Though this ought not to be the regular experience of the believer, we cannot deny that we wouldn’t face such seasons in our lives. But with our gracious Lord, it’s always about loving discipline, then our repentance, renewal and restoration. We should not stay in the doldrums (getting uncomfortably comfortable there), we should rise up to our feet and continue on with the journey. I believe there really might be no such thing as static Christianity, you’re either going backwards or forward.
How necessary it is for us to begin each day right being reminded that “.. they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Galatians 5:24-25. Each day we must start afresh, and thankfully His mercies are just as refreshingly new every morning (Lam 3:22-23). We don’t run on yesterday’s fill or supply, it’s granted day by day, much like the provision of manna in the wilderness to the children of Israel. Thinking about these things, this old song came to my mind this morning, a much cherished song which reminds me that my life in Christ is a daily walk.
Just a Closer Walk With Thee
I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, dear Lord close to Thee.
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
Oh Lord, may i give this day to Thee.
