\u201cI am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless,\u201d<\/p>\n
Genesis 14:17<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). \u00a0And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) \u00a0And he blessed him and said, \u201cBlessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; \u00a0and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!\u201d And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. \u00a0And the king of Sodom said to Abram, \u201cGive me the persons, but take the goods for yourself.\u201d \u00a0But Abram said to the king of Sodom, \u201cI have lifted my hand to the LORD, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, \u00a0that I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, \u2018I have made Abram rich.\u2019 \u00a0I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me. Let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.\u201d<\/p>\n 1 Kings 13:8<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And the man of God said to the king, \u201cIf you give me half your house, I will not go in with you. And I will not eat bread or drink water in this place,<\/p>\n 2 Kings 5:16<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0But he said, \u201cAs the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.\u201d And he urged him to take it, but he refused.<\/p>\n Walking blameless before God.\u00a0 <\/span>In a\u00a0 <\/span>society and culture there are obviously insights to what is right and wrong gained through childhood and youth depending on the influence of others.\u00a0 <\/span>When a generation takes a small step away from God it is not long before the next takes steps so far away that God no longer is given thought.\u00a0 <\/span>What was taught to children as truth from parents, teachers, society and culture can erode fast when honoring and living for God is looked at as a threat to society.\u00a0 <\/span>Enlightenment and teaching of liberal worldly wisdom\u00a0 <\/span>as truth and God as false hope for the weak has to certainly confuse impressional minds of the young.\u00a0 <\/span>How is the next generation to have hope of walking blameless if they are not given guidance while they are young so that in the time of choices they choose to walk blameless before God not man. There are many wide paths and worldly lies, and false or partial truths – none of which will guide a person to humbly walk before God.<\/p>\n In our life of choices we undoubtedly will find ourselves in situation where we choose to take a stand and walk blameless or follow others.\u00a0 <\/span>It will never end well when we follow those with worldly wisdom and speak of things of God as though they are not.<\/p>\n It takes daily desire and commitment to walk and live a life of faith with and for God. \u00a0 <\/span>Walking blameless is not so much about do\u2019s and don\u2019ts, but rather loving God and serving Him, honoring Him, following Him, obeying Him and glorifying Him by what we say, think and do. \u00a0 <\/span>It is out of humble thankfulness of salvation, redemption, grace, mercy, and Love through Jesus Christ we choose to live a life to serve and honor God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cI am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless,\u201d Genesis 14:17\u00a0\u00a0After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). \u00a0And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. … Continue reading “Walk Blameless”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4083,1458,286,7580,2421,7577,602,3934,7583,3500,7578,3419,7582,3590,111,7579,7517,5202,7581,2422],"class_list":["post-44881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-prayers","tag-abraham","tag-almighty","tag-blameless","tag-blessed-him","tag-bread","tag-defeat","tag-enemies","tag-everything","tag-i-will-not-go-with-you","tag-into-your-hand","tag-melchizedek","tag-most-high","tag-possessor-of-heaven-and-earth","tag-refused","tag-rich","tag-salem","tag-sodom","tag-stand","tag-tenth","tag-water"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44881"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44881\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44884,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44881\/revisions\/44884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
