Journey with Jesus
Now that you have welcomed the Anointed One, Jesus the Lord, into your lives, continue to journey with Him and allow Him to shape your lives. Let your roots grow down deeply in Him, and let Him build you up on a firm foundation. Be strong in the faith, just as you were taught, and always spill over with thankfulness. —Colossians 2:6-7 (VOICE)
See that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men and the basic principles of the world rather than Messiah. (Colossians 2:8 TLV) Jesus is our Lord, when we submit to His teaching, instead of following the ways of this world or the inclinations of our flesh. Journey with the King of kings all day, every day. He knows the desired destination and the best course for us to take. Keep your trust in Him, no matter how rough the terrain gets.
Allow Him to shape your life. Our roots grow deeper in Him each time we take the path of love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and truth. Let us reflect His character in the things we do and say—living lives that lead others away from sin. (See Colossians 2:6 AMP)
