Bible Verse of The Day – 4-24-19

Colossians 2:6-7 (NKJV) 6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him.

This is the Christian walk, summarized in just 9 words. This is also the answer to so many of the questions we have.

How do I hear God better? How do I know what God wants for my life? How do I grow my faith in God?

These are questions that so many of us ask. And we wrestle with finding the answer that will “unlock the secrets” we desire to understand better.

But as we continually wrestle with this, the answer is actually right in front of us; as we have received Christ Jesus, so walk in Him.

And how do we walk in Him? Rooted and built up in the faith.

These are not something that we attain simply by desiring them to be so. They require persistence, perseverance, tenacity and resolve.

We need to pursue them relentlessly with a mindset that says “never quit, no matter what we face”.

And as we pursue God, we will find Him.

Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV) 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

This all comes together and begins to fall into place as we lay aside the fringe benefits, so to speak, and we seek only the Source of those benefits, the One who holds it all in His hands.

Seek Him and you will find Him. Amen
