Walk Straight

Opening Verse

“He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.”
—Proverbs 10:9 (KJV)

Introduction

Upright walking isn’t limited to work or public life. It stretches into friendships, family, and even the thoughts we entertain. God calls us to walk straight in every area. There is no hiding with Him.

Devotional Story

A young woman grew tired of feeling left out. Her friends were always talking about the latest gossip, mocking others, even sharing private messages just to get a laugh. At first, she stayed silent. Then she joined in. She laughed, she shared, and she felt accepted.

But her peace vanished. At night, she replayed the conversations and felt guilt she couldn’t shake. One day, the girl they mocked most stood crying in the hallway. The young woman knew why. Her conscience burned.

That night she prayed, “Lord, I want to walk uprightly. I’m done being two-faced.” The next day, she apologized to the girl and made a hard decision: she left that friend group.

It cost her something. But her peace came back, and so did her strength. She made new friends who feared God and spoke life. Now she encourages others to walk the secure path—no matter how lonely it may seem at first.

What This Means

Walking uprightly means choosing what pleases God even when it’s unpopular. It’s not about perfection. It’s about honesty, purity, and repentance. The crooked path will always get found out. But the straight path? It leads to peace, protection, and the approval of Heaven.

Think About This

Are there conversations you’ve been part of that Jesus would never join? Is your integrity solid even in private?

Prayer

Lord, I want to walk securely in every part of my life. Help me turn away from anything that dishonors You—even if it costs me. Give me courage to walk uprightly, and joy that doesn’t come from the crowd. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Closing Verse

“Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.”
—Psalm 25:21 (KJV)

Holy Ground and Ready Feet

Opening Verse

“And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.”
Exodus 3:5 (KJV)

Introduction

We often rush into God’s presence without realizing where we’re standing. But Scripture shows us something powerful: before God sends us out, He calls us to stop, recognize His holiness, and prepare ourselves. Today’s verses show both stillness and movement—Moses removing his shoes on holy ground, and believers being ready to go with the gospel of peace.

Devotional Story

A woman walked into church after a long season of spiritual dryness. She wasn’t sure why she came—maybe habit, maybe hope. As the worship began, she stayed seated, arms crossed, heart guarded. Then the lyrics shifted: “We are standing on holy ground…”

She felt it. The stillness. The weight. Not guilt—just awe. It was as if God Himself whispered, “Take off your shoes. This moment is Mine.” She began to weep—not because of sorrow, but because of the presence of a holy God who still wanted her.

Later that week, she found herself at a coffee shop talking with a hurting coworker. The words came naturally, full of grace and truth. Her shoes may have been on, but her feet were now shod with readiness. The peace she had received, she was now ready to share.

What This Means

Exodus 3:5 reminds us to pause. To remove what doesn’t belong. To see that God’s presence demands reverence. Ephesians 6:15 calls us to go—not in chaos or anger, but with the gospel of peace.

Before you run, stop. Before you speak, worship. Before you serve, recognize that you’re on holy ground.

Only those who stand still before God can walk boldly into the world for Him.

Think About This

  • Have you rushed past holy ground this week?

  • Are you ready to share the peace you’ve received?

  • What “shoes” of pride, sin, or self have you refused to take off?

Prayer

Lord, help me to see when I’m on holy ground. Teach me to stop and listen. Remove the things from my life that don’t belong in Your presence. Then, when I rise, may I walk in peace, ready to carry Your gospel to a hurting world. Make my feet swift with obedience, and my heart slow to move without You. Amen.

Closing Verse

“And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.”
Ephesians 6:15 (KJV)
