We must look above our path to be able to walk in it. A Jew, who had the secret of Jehovah and who waited for the Messiah, was pious and faithful according to the law. A Jew who had only the law assuredly did not keep it. A Christian, who has heaven before him and a Savior in glory as the object of his affections, will walk well upon the earth. He who has only the earthly path for his, rule will fail in the intelligence and motives needed to walk in it. He will become a prey to worldliness and his Christian walk in the world will become more or less on a level with the world in which he walks. The eyes upward on Jesus will keep the heart and steps in a path conformable to Jesus, and this consequently will glorify Him and make Him known to the world. Seeing what we are, we must have a motive above our path to be able to walk in it. This does not prevent our needing also the fear of the Lord to pass the time of our sojourning here in fear, knowing that we are redeemed by the precious blood of Christ.
