FROM WONDERINGS TO KNOWING

Colossians – Watch out!

Let’s be honest. I woke up this morning a bit overwhelmed with many details of what I think needs to be accomplished over the next couple of weeks, months and years. My prayer, while making coffee and getting a cup of cheerios this morning were desperate sentence prayers…
“Lord, I don’t know how it will get done.”
“But, I know You are here.”
“And in my mind, I know with You nothing is impossible.”
“So, Lord, now tell the rest of me…heart, body and soul.”
“Help me to just be still, to fall into harmony with Your timing, your ebb and flow, along with the perfect rhythms of Your grace and Your power.”
“Help me to see You clearly.”
“Help me to watch out for people who bring me down, especially those who assume I cannot do something WHILE I’m doing it with You!” “Help me to not be distracted by world thinking.”

I needed this next passage in the continuation of Paul’s Pep Talks to the Colossians…maybe this will be helpful to you, too!

Colossians 2, The Message

8-10 Watch out for people who try to dazzle you with big words and intellectual double-talk. They want to drag you off into endless arguments that never amount to anything. They spread their ideas through the empty traditions of human beings and the empty superstitions of spirit beings. But that’s not the way of Christ. Everything of God gets expressed in him, so you can see and hear him clearly. You don’t need a telescope, a microscope, or a horoscope to realize the fullness of Christ, and the emptiness of the universe without him. When you come to him, that fullness comes together for you, too. His power extends over everything.

What do we learn?
–Paul wants everyone to know that things created in the minds of humans that is not of God and is useless to include in our lives.
–When we come to Him, believe in Him, and LIVE Jesus, our lives come together because of Him. Wow. Let that sink in.
–HIS power, glory and majesty extends over EVERYTHING.
–His POWER lives in us! Be still and know God.
–He is God and we are not.

Dear Heavenly Father, Help us to breathe in all that is You and exhale all that is not this morning. Be our wisdom, strength and our song all day long and into the night. Help us to “chew” on this food for real life with Your power! In Jesus Name, Amen
