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:
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
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.

Daily Thought:
I think there is a direct correlation between these two verses in Colossians. In order for the believer in Christ to do everything in word or deed to the glory of Christ, I believe he must do what is described in verse 16. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” If I try to do everything in my life in the name of Chrsit  in my own strength, I will eventually run out of steam…

My Prayer:
Lord, please help me to do everything I do in word and deed to your glory. I need your strength and I thank you for providing that for me. You have blessed me in so many ways and I give praise to you today. Amen.
