Colossians 2:6-9

“6. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

8. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

We live I uncertain times. Not sure of what may happen next. The only thing that is certain is that God is in control; he never fails, nor does he ever change. As the scriptures say Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever more.

It is our duty to abide in the truth of his word, be secure in it, stand on it be faith. One we are, we then need to be a light to those that are lost in darkness. To be that voice of calm in a tumultuous world.

We need to get it together because people are depending on us – even if they don’t realize it. They need our prayers, wisdom, and Godly inspired common sense. 

Because of this the enemy of our souls is after us. If he can pull us back in darkness he is then better able to keep the remainder of the world there too. 

Guard youself. Be vigilant, be sober, because your adversary, the devil, is walking around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Don’t be a victim. Don’t get caught up in mess, so you are not effective.

Be relevant because you are needed. Guard yourself and shine.
