Colossians 1:9-18

^“9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

¹⁰ That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

¹¹ Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

¹² Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

¹³ Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

¹⁴ In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

¹⁵ Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

¹⁶ For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

¹⁷ And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”

 

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Psalm 34:4

^“I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”

 

The key to this verse for the child of God is the very first 4 words. “I sought the Lord”. We read of the Lord’s promises to His people in His Word. We study the examples of His grace and mercy on those whom He loves. We have witnessed this same grace and mercy multiple times in our own lives and in the lives of others. Yet, we refuse to leave our fears behind and follow our Lord and Savior.

He promises to never leave us nor to ever forsake us. But how often do we forget His promises and cling to our fears? Even the smallest of fears. Those fears that don’t amount to a hill of beans. And we act as though the world is coming to an end.

Child of God, where is your faith and trust today? In the promises of our Gracious and Merciful Lord and Savior or in the fears that cause us to distance ourselves from the One who has promised to remove those fears if we will only seek Him and trust Him?

 

Praise ye the Lord!!!
