We managed to get
through the storm and now just have to face some cold weather ahead. Thank you
for your prayers as we do appreciate them my friend. I hope you that will have
a good week ahead of you.

so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Colossians 1:10
Our walk with the Lord is the single most important thing in our lives. It is the manner by which we walk that either produces life or death. Paul’s prayer for the people was for them to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, and pleasing him in all things. By walk we refer to our way of life, our daily habits, our reactions and actions to people and situations. How we respond shows how we are walking and if the path we are on it’s a good one.
Bearing fruit is the result of our lives with the Lord, and are the evidence of our relationship with Him. This fruit if the things in our lives that point our hearts to Christ, in our actions, our thoughts, and mostly our words are things we bear for good works. Now it is important that we judge our own lives because others will be watching us.
Increase in your knowledge about God my friend. This is the one thing we seem to forget about and put to the side in our lives. Maybe we think that as long as we have the basics down we will be fine, as if its enough to know we are saved and we should be good living the rest of our lives with that. But it is not enough. We should be ever learning and ever growing to know and understand this One we call Lord. We are in truth giving our lives to Him, we might as well spend our energy getting to know all we can about Him.
