He that walketh with God sees, by the eye of faith, God present with him in all his actions; seriously thinking of Him upon all occasions, remembering Him in his ways, setting the Lord always before him as David did; seeing Him that is invisible as Moses did; doing all things as St. Paul did, as of God in the sight of God. Now he who so walketh that he always observeth God's presence and keepeth Him still in his view in the course of his life not only with a general and habitual but, as much as he can, with an actual intention to please and glorify God, this man may be said to walk with God.

Consider, what thou doest out of thy place is not acceptable to God because thou canst not do it in faith, "without which it is impossible to please God," and it cannot be in faith because thou hast no call. God will not thank thee for doing that which He did not set thee about. Possibly thou hast good intentions; so had Uzzah in staying the ark, yet how well God liked his zeal, see 2 Samuel 6:7.

Though no believer does what he should do, yet doubtless every believer might do more than he does in order to God's glory and his own and others' internal and eternal good. Affection without endeavor is like Rachel, beautiful but barren. They are blessed that do what they can, though they cannot but under-do. Unsearchable Riches of Christ

Our obedience in all the branches of it [the praise owed to the Lord in light of His providential care] should be bettered. Practical praises are the most acceptable. Our lives must witness the gratitude of our hearts. Best Refuge

It is true that God, before the foundation of the world, fully determined with Himself whom to choose to salvation by grace, to which also He ordained them, and whom to pass by and leave in their sins, for which He determined in His just wrath to condemn them. But who these be is a secret which even the elect themselves cannot know until they be effectually called—nay, nor being called, until by some experience and proofs of their faith and holiness, they do understand the witness of the Spirit, which testifies to their spirits that they are the children of God and do make their calling and election, which was always sure in God, sure to themselves.

obedience is not instrumental (it does not acquire the gift of Christ, nor any additional gift from God), but is integral to the gift itself.
