Walk Tall


Therefore I, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, accepting one another in love, diligently keeping the unity of the Spirit with the peace that binds us.
Ephesians 4:1‭-‬3 HCSB

In chapter three we find some of the best scripture around:

I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit, and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love, and to know the Messiah’s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:16‭-‬19 HCSB

Chapter 3 appears to end the letter with:

Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us — to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20‭-‬21 HCSB

However, fortunately for us, Paul continues with Chapter 4 (not that his letters were in chapters). We are encouraged to walk worthy of our calling, with all humility and gentleness and patience. To actually live this out in persecution and suffering is not easy. But, praise God, we have the Holy Spirit that binds us.

Personally I find injustice galling. The fight in me rises and I become none to gentle and kind. I am having to walk this out by God's grace. Amen!
