Col 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
My focus this year is on living a life that honors my Savior. I think that is a beautiful life-goal, and I’m wrapping my head around what that means exactly. One of the truths He has shown me of late is there’s still too much of me in me.
Col 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts….And be thankful.
If I am going to honor Him, then I need to get out of His way so He can use me, work in me and through me for the good of His people. But I am still so quick to react in anger, bitterness, fear. Those are my frail, human emotions, not the peace, trust, and obedience of Christ in my life. Jesus, Help me.
Col 3:14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in prefect harmony.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this deep desire to honor You with my life. Thank You for the realization that there is still so much earthliness in me, which keeps You from being able to fully use me for Your purposes. Help me to navigate both the earthly and eternal and to strike a balance that allows me to honor You in every way. Draw me closer. Amen.
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly….with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
