Daily Walk with God.

By Christian Advocate

"Be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long." Prov. xxiii, 17.

How may this be done?

1. Raise your thoughts to God in your first waking moments, as David, who said, "When I am awake I am still with thee."

2. Seek the Lord by secret, fervent prayer, and say, "My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee and look up."

3. At a convenient hour collect together your household for family worship, reading the word of God, and prayer.

4. Carry religious tempers and manners into your family and business, and all the engagements of life.

5. Suitably acknowledge God in the meals you take; seeking his blessing, and giving thanks to his name.

6. In the midst of your avocations, frequently send up ejaculations to heaven for grace, help, and preservation; especially in circumstances, of difficulty, danger and strong temptation.

7. If practicable, retire in the course of the day for devotional purposes, like him who said, "Evening and morning, and at noon, will I pray and cry aloud, and he shall hear my voice."

8. Improve every opportunity you have to witness for God and truth, and to do good to your fellow creatures.

9. Close the day as it began, with family worship, and secret prayer.

10. Acknowledge yourself an unprofitable servant, and depend only upon the blood and righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ for acceptance with God, now and in the day of Judgment. Thus walk with God here, and hereafter you

"Shall walk with God, High in salvation, and in the climes of bliss." Ch. Ad.
