LEARNING TO WALK! – 1 Corinthians 11:1 Devotional by Pastor Cecil A. Thompson

https://DailyEvotional.com/ -- 1 Corinthians 11:1

“Imitate me as I purpose to imitate Christ!”

There is a time for everything in this life. I think all of us can recall days when we were immature and clumsy in just about everything we did. A toddler learning to walk has more falls than steps. Adults cheer those first struggling steps.

In the Christian walk there are many slips, slides and tumbles. The last thing that is needed is a critical attitude that mocks those painful struggles as a new believer learns how to walk with the Lord.

Rather than being critical, we need to be helpful. That means knowing when to lend a hand and when to take our hands off and watch with joy as the new believer walks on their own. It is hard to keep from cheering when they walk on their own.

Walking on our own does not mean we abandon the One who has given us our spiritual life. We need the nearness of Christ and also the steadying hand of those who have just been learning to walk. Learn to walk on your own and then assist others who also are learning to walk!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
