Text for the Day -- Colossians 2:6-7 ---------- As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Devotional ---------- The Colossians were taught about Christ and were rooted and grounded in God's love and grace so that they would be grounded in faith as well. Paul urges these Christians, and us as well, to continue in this mode and to abound in gratitude. Faith and gratitude are at the center of Christian life and worship. The remembrances of God's victory in Christ draws forth gratitude and faith to move forward in Christ. Without the discipline of being with God's people we tend to forget, and both faith and gratitude wane.
Prayer ---------------- May your Spirit continue to nurture my faith journey as I look to you, O Lord. Amen
