My Man Card

I’m sure this title will stir a few eyebrows. I’ve started a new devotion “Living & Finishing Well” by Ken Boa. One of the exercises challenged me to write out my Man Card. I’m sharing that with you today. As I've shared before I had the wonderful blessing of having a father that was my best friend. The pictures are of him 50 years ago and me today.

Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads.

My Man Card

“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20

The following is my summary of a few Scriptures that reflect the key ingredients of a daily walk with Christ.

• Walk before God in Truth. Keep His commandments. 1 Kings 2:2-4

• Delight in God’s Word, meditate on it day and night. Psalm 1

• Do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with my God. Micah 6:8

• Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, and be strong. Let all you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

• Be imitators of God. As Christ: walk in love, walk in light, walk in wisdom. Love my Wife as Christ loves me. Ephesians 5

• Teach others the things I have heard from the Lord. 2 Timothy 2

Here are a few resources I have found helpful in my daily walk with the Lord.
