Today’s Reading: Colossians 3:5-11
Today’s Verse: “Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” Colossians 3:11 KJV
God is our protection. God is our light in darkness. He is joy in the time of sorrow. He is our today and tomorrow. God is our all and all.
He is the joy and the strength of our lives. He alone can remove any pain we feel. He takes away all suffering and conflict.
God has promised to keep us. To never leave us. And we know He never comes short of His Word.
That is why He sent Jesus to die for our sins. No longer should strife have a hold on us.
As Jesus and the Father are one (John 10:30), there is unity in the Body of Christ.
When we acknowledge that we are His, there is unity, nature, and purpose.
We have a shared purpose and goal. We embrace the fact that we have separate roles to contribute to the focused outcome. The purpose allows for growth and success in achieving Divine goals.
Jesus is the Good Shephard who protects all believers.
Those who hold this faith are responsible for resisting anything that encourages them to take part in worldly actions.
We should keep working to stop and prevent corruption. All corruption should be resisted.
We must resist sin daily. If we do not, sin will destroy us.
That is why we must stay rooted and grounded in the Word.
It is our greatest defense.
The gospel transforms both the higher and lower aspects of the soul. It is the confirmed authority of reason and conscience over desires and emotions.
We each have an equal responsibility to strive for holiness, regardless of our location, situation, or life circumstances.
For Christians, Christ is everything. He is our sole Lord and Savior. He is the foundation of our hope and happiness.
God is our All in All. He will never come short of His Word.
We have a new transformed life when Christ is in our life.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Father, You are the joy and strength of our lives. You never come short of Your Word. With Christ in our lives, we are made new. Help us to be steadfast in fasting, praying, and seeking Your guidance. We want to do everything we can to be the ones to go with You when You come back. You are our All in All. Thank You for Jesus. Thank You for all that You do in our lives.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
