Daily In Christ

Verse Of The Day:
Colossians 1:10 ESV  so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

Daily Thought:
How do I walk in a manner worthy of the the Lord? This verse gives me three ways to do this. First, by being pleasing to Him. That means that all  I do today will be pleasing to the Lord. Next, bearing fruit in in every good work is another way to walk in a manner worthy of Him. To bear fruit I need to be connected to the Vine. And lastly, by increasing in the knowledge of God. Spending time learning and knowing Him.

My Prayer:
Lord, please help me walk in a manner that is worthy of you today. I want to be a vessel for you. I love you Lord and am thankful for all you have done in my life. Amen

Verse Of The Day:
Galatians 5:16 ESV  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Daily Thought:
Walking in the flesh is as easy as taking the next breath of fresh air. We do it without even thinking about it. However, when we walk in our flesh we will ultimately do the things that fulfill the desires of the flesh. I am reminded today that when I am connected to God through his Spirit I will not gratify fleshly desires. In order to be in tune to the Spirit I need to be in the Word and prayer daily. No, constantly… Walking in the Spirit for me is more than just a daily routine of reading the my Bible, it is a moment by moment conscious thing I must do throughout the day.

My Prayer:
Lord, I want to glorify you in all I do and I know to do that I need to walk by the Spirit. Help me to do that today.
