May the Lord help us obey him and follow all the laws and teachings... ~ 1 Kings 8:58a (CEV)
My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You’re deeply rooted in him. You’re well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you’ve been taught. School’s out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving. ~ Colossians 2:6-7 (MSG)
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Live out your faith in the ordinary -- tangible and intangible -- happenings of life.PRAYER
Thank you, dear God, for the gift of Christ and all that he means to me. I confess, though, that at times my faith is no more than emotional attachment to him. Help me to go deeper and wider so that Christ defines every aspect -- every moment -- every thought -- every interaction -- of my life. I'm going to live according to him and it's going to spill over with more thanksgiving than I can contain. Amen.
