Watching our Walk (11)
Series: Ephesians
Robert Dawson
Ephesians 4:17-32
I was a goofy kid. No surprises to anyone here. I was goofy looking, goofy acting and goofy walking. For most of my childhood I was pigeon-toed when I walked, my feet were turned in. The pigeons were probably offended being compared to me. Even today, if I get extremely tired, my feet will start to turn in slightly when I walk.
I know after this story everyone will be watching me walk. Yes, it will still be goofy, but I no longer walk pigeon-toed. How you ask did I overcome my pigeon-toedness? No. I did not have surgery, nor did I have to wear braces. I was blessed with a very persistent and relentless mother who, with every step I took, every day of my life, said, ''Robert, turn your feet out when you walk. Your walking pigeon-toed.'' So, I would stare at my feet when I walked and concentrate on turning the front part of my foot out and which became a bad habit. Instead of going through High School pigeon-toed I walked my way through it constantly looking down at me feet.
To correct the way I walked, I had to pay attention to the way that I walked. I had to intentionally and purposefully walk the correct way.
The Bible tells us that we all have a walk. It's the way we live our lives. It also tells us to pay attention to the way we walk. That is what Paul stresses in this passage of Scripture.
Ephesians 4.17-32 - So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; 19 and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. 20 But you did not learn Christ in this way, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, 22 that, ...
