VERSE OF THE DAY

Friday

Colossians 2:6-7 Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened  in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.  

Some things you don't change, swap, or update.  In an age when computer processors make major leaps every few months and software companies release new upgrades every year, we get programmed into looking for the new and improved version of everything. The simple but profound truth is that Jesus is Lord. No update needed. No rival worthy. No change necessary. In fact, if we stray from this as the basis of our life, we put all we hold dear at risk.  But if we continue, if we grow, if we root ourselves in this truth and make it the undergirding reality of our lives, then our future is secure and our victory assured!

PRAYER ... Holy God, I thank You for the simple, challenging and enduring truth of Jesus' Lordship.  Through Your Spirit, I pray that You will conform my life to more closely reflect His lordship in my work, my family, and daily influence.  Through the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.
