“That you would walk worthy of God, Who hath called you unto His kingdom and glory” (1 Thessalonians 2:12).

James sat behind his desk overlooking the skyline of the city. The rest of the workers in his department would not arrive for work for at least another forty-five minutes. Closing his New Testament which he kept in his top right drawer, James whispered to the Lord, “My greatest challenge today is not the managers’ meeting. It is not the visiting dignitary from our sister plant overseas. It is not the decision on which candidate to hire. My greatest challenge is to walk worthy as a citizen of Your kingdom, Lord. If I could please only one person today, Lord, I want to please You by being a worthy walker!” As the cloud blew along, the rising sun caused a burst of light on James’ desk. It was a powerful and precious moment in his life. How is it with you? Have you ever prayed such a prayer to the Lord?

For today: Lord, more than anything else in the world, I want to walk worthy of You, my great and awesome God. How about you?
