Walking the Walk

A.W. Tozer wrote, "We will never be where we should be until we cease to hunt after happiness and begin to hunt after holiness." I found this quote in a note book that I had kept in 2007. I had been saved for five years and I had only recently heard of A.W. Tozer. I remember being surprised at the lackadaisical approach many believers took when it came to holiness and their love for the Lord Jesus Christ. In John 14:15 the Lord Jesus says, "If you love me keep my commandments." Even as a new convert I took that serious. Now, when the Lord saved me He began to do a work in me. I was as green as any new convert has ever been. I needed a compass and a map to find Genesis. It was the word of God as it was being preached and taught to me that slowly and powerfully changed my life. The Holy Spirit was illuminating truth after truth. It was an exciting time and that excitement continues this very moment. God's word lit a holy fire in me as I read "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy" (Peter 1:13-16.) 

I am fearful that many within the body of Christ are not purposed in their commitment to the Lord or in their love for the Lord. Many seem to think that holiness is an old time word that should be left in the Bible, hidden in the pew and locked away in the church house. A life separated unto God will be the best life. I have found that as I walk with the Lord my desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to live a holy life is the by product of staying in step with Almighty God. That will be living at its best. Such a life will bring glory and honor to Almighty God and will also bring good to the saints as well as the sinners.

If you were to take your spiritual temperature what would the thermometer read? Would it reveal a life in pursuit of happiness or a life of holiness?
