February 23, 2025 OUR MARCHING ORDERS
Colossians 1:9b-13a “that you will be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may 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; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of saints in light. For He has delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Som,”
If we belong to Christ, then He has a life for us; a life unlike the world offers. This life that comes from God is to be lived out daily. One cannot live according to the ways of the world and according to the ways of God simultaneously; they are mutually exclusive. The good news for us is that God has designed a way of life for us, and He has enabled us to live this life He has for us. We must know and believe that God desires the very best for us; thus He makes this awesome life available to us. God does not want us living in the shadows, uncertain of how to live life. God desires, and He makes it possible for us to be filled with His spiritual wisdom and understanding so that we may live in a manner that is pleasing to Him. Bearing good fruit in every good work should be the norm for believers. Throughout our days, we can and should be increasing in our knowledge of God. God strengthens us according to His might for living life. How awesome and rewarding it is for us to be steadfast and patient even as we live in a fallen world where strife and conflict are so prevalent. We cannot live this life by our own strength and will-power; He has qualified us and has given us the privilege of living according to His ways; He has made us new creations. Let us remember that God HAS delivered from the domain of darkness and HAS made us citizens of His kingdom. So, as we go about our daily lives, as we negotiate the nitty-gritty of life, let us do so as those who have been filled with the life of God-reflecting His nature, His character, His wisdom, His compassion, and His love. He has made us sufficient for life.
Colossians 3:23-24 “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.”
