Your Walk Talks

 Hebrews 12:1 
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about 

with so great a cloud of witnesses,

 let us lay aside every weight, 

and the sin which doth so easily beset us, 

and let us run with patience 

the race that is set before us,

Romans 12:1+2

 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

"Your Walk talks,
And your Talk talks.
But, 

Your Walk talks louder
Than your Talk talks."

This tongue twister reminds us to make sure our walk matches our talk.

We will have more influence with people when we have the integrity to practice what we preach.

"Do as I say, and not as I do," does not work.

The more consistently that you live in alignment with your beliefs the more credibility you will have with those who watch your life.

Our brothers, our sisters, our spouse, our children, our coworkers; these are the people that spend the most time around us. They can tell if we are hypocrites. Hypocrites demand a standard that they themselves are unwilling or unable to live up to. Hypocrites act one way at Church and another way during the week. Hypocrites have no credibility. 

If you want to be an effective witness, act out your faith. And, when you fail, acknowledge your fault. Don't blame others. Ask forgiveness from God and from those you hurt. Then correct your behavior. 

We will be a better more effective witness this way, and we will, also, be happier more blessed children of God. 

Proverbs 3:5-7
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Stepping In The Light is a good hymn on this topic. Let us press more closely to Him who is leading.
