Today’s Text: Colossians 1:11-12
May you be
strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance
and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to
share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Words of Devotion
I read about some prospectors
who were mining for gold in Colorado years ago. They came upon a large amount
of gold, and they agreed with one another that they wouldn’t tell anybody where
they found it.
So the day came when they
had to go back to the city and get fresh supplies and provisions. And when they
went back to the city people began to notice something was different about them
based solely on the looks upon their faces. They couldn’t keep it to
themselves!
When you have abundant
life in Jesus Christ, it’s going to show up. You can’t keep it to yourself! You
won’t have to look for people to share Christ with; they’ll be looking at you
if you truly have the joy of the Lord. And you’ll have the privilege of telling
them that the difference is the Lord Jesus Christ!
In every situation in
life—the good and the bad—Jesus makes all the difference. It’s the unspeakable
joy we have in Him that makes life really worth living. It’s in following Him
that we find meaning and purpose. And when we do, the lives we live will be
markedly different because we have a hope beyond compare!
MAKE JESUS CHRIST THE CENTER OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU’LL
EXPERIENCE REAL JOY THAT GOES BEYOND YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
