Please read Colossians 2.
Meditate on verse 6 and10a.
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord,
so walk in Him. In Him you have
been made complete.
What are you
striving for in order to feel complete? God tells you in Colossians 2 to make
sure no one takes you captive or deceives you with worldly principles (v. 8).
The world tries to convince you to own, dress, act, and achieve certain things
in order to feel complete. God’s Word says you are already complete if you are
in Christ Jesus.
Remember
Colossians contains at least 70 characteristics of who you are if you are in
Christ. What do you learn about Jesus and you from this chapter? Verses 13 and
14 tell you that you were dead in your transgressions, but God made you alive
together with Christ because He forgave ALL your transgressions. He even
cancelled your certificate of debt by nailing it to the cross. Knowing those
truths brings completion to your life.
Let the
truth of God’s Word be established in your heart and mind, so you can walk and
live in Christ. Pray Colossians 2:5- 7 over yourself and those for whom you
stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD,
let me rejoice to see ___________
good discipline
and stability of faith in You.
As we
have received You,
let us walk in You
firmly
rooted and built up
and
established in our faith just as we were instructed.
Let us overflow
with gratitude.
In Your
name, Jesus~”

the WALL ~ Dr. Ron and Marsha Harvell
