Meanwhile, live in such a way that you are a credit to the Message of Christ. Let nothing in your conduct hang on whether I come or not. Your conduct must be the same whether I show up to see things for myself or hear of it from a distance. Stand united, singular in vision, contending for people’s trust in the Message, the good news, not flinching or dodging in the slightest before the opposition. Your courage and unity will show them what they’re up against: defeat for them, victory for you—and both because of God. There’s far more to this life than trusting in Christ. There’s also suffering for him. And the suffering is as much a gift as the trusting. You’re involved in the same kind of struggle you saw me go through, on which you are now getting an updated report in this letter.

All too often, we separate our physical life from our spiritual one. “Walk Fit. Walk Worthy.” integrates the physical with the spiritual through Prayer Walking. This plan shows us how to walk worthy of Christ in our commitment, conduct, and character.
Through this plan, we read Philippians 2 to understand the message Paul was getting across to the church. Seeing things in their proper perspective can change our thinking and, ultimately, our responses to the things around us. Paul, in his letter, brings perspective to who we are, resulting in how we should behave when we choose a life in Christ.
What better model could we provide for our children than feeding on God’s Word (Jer. 15:16) and allowing its content to permeate our lives (Col. 3:16), yielding Spirit-produced godliness? Such godly qualities, as appear in 2 Peter 1:3-7, “render [us] neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (v. 8). Imagine having this kind of influence in our children’s lives. Let’s consider how to encourage such characteristics.
