Manna for Your Morning

…by giving himself completely at the Cross, actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God’s side and put your lives together, whole and holy in his presence. You don’t walk away from a gift like that! You stay grounded and steady in that bond of trust, constantly tuned in to the Message, careful not to be distracted or diverted. — Colossians 1:22-23 (MSG) If you ever feel like your life is falling apart, know that in Christ, our lives come together perfectly. Just as we make sure we are on the right channel to view our favorite television show, let us stay tuned in to what our mighty God is doing in our midst. He is a great big God and He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, (Ephesians 3:20, NKJV).

Barnabas was sent to Antioch. When he arrived there, he was pleased to see what God had done for them out of kindness. So he encouraged all the people to remain solidly committed to the Lord. — Acts 11:22-23 (GW) It is the work of the enemy to distort the truth about the way the Lord wants people to live (Acts 13:10). I encourage you to continue in your faith, established and firm, without being moved from the solid foundation of Christ Jesus, the Chief Cornerstone. Stay solidly committed, constantly tuned in to the Holy Spirit within, so that you will not be distracted or diverted away from the Lord.
