8-28-24   THOUGHTS

Simple, straight forward, understandable words to live by!  Be filled, know, understand.  Walk bearing fruit.  Be strengthened by God’s power.  Then the words steadfast, patience, joy and the giving of thanks are used.  By Christ Jesus’ rescue, we are  “transferred us into the kingdom of  His beloved  Son, 14  in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”   Today, every day, may we walk in a worthy manner!

Col 1:9-14    For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,   10  so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;  11  strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all  steadfastness and patience; joyously  12   giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. 13  For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14  in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

My Prayer:
We pray, O God, that we may all walk in a manner worthy of  Your calling.  Help us have more focus and pay closer attention as we serve with greater power and zeal and eagerness.  We ask for a more consuming desire to know You in Your fullness.  Give us a serious sense of eternity, and make us know how frail we are.  We ask that we be able to live in awe of Your glory.  Please accept our praise and thanksgiving.   In  the name of Jesus,   Amen.
