In
Christ, all the fullness of the Deity lives bodily form, and you have been
given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.

2:9-10

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
If
you had known Jesus' address in Nazareth along about A.D. 20, you could have
gone to that house and said, "God lives here!" The doctrine of Jesus
as fully God and fully man, fully God and yet having emptied himself of all of
his divine privilege, is nearly impossible to fully understand, but is the
awesome reality of Grace. God chose to be like us because we could not be like
him. So in Jesus, God came to us so we could be given his fullness.
MY PRAYER
Almighty
God, I confess that you are too great for me to comprehend. Yet as marvelous
and mighty and majestic as you are, your grace is greater still. Thank you for
sending Jesus so I could know you. Thank you for sending Jesus so I could be
forgiven. Thank you for sending Jesus so I can go home to you and live forever.
Thank you, Jesus, for coming to redeem me and then returning to the Father so I
can speak to him through you. Amen.
PEACE, BE STILL
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Then
He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the
wind ceased and there was a great calm.”
(Mark
4:39, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD
What
do you do when the storms of life seem to be raging against you? One time Jesus
was with His disciples in a boat out on the water when they encountered a great
storm. The disciples were very afraid but Jesus, on the other hand, was fast
asleep. When the disciples woke Him up to see if He could help them, Jesus got
up and simply spoke to the storm, “Peace! Be still.” And the seas were calm
again.
When
difficult times come, you don’t have to be overwhelmed by the waves of worry or
fear. Just as Jesus stood up and spoke to the storm, you have power in your
words, too. As a believer, the Bible tells us that the same Spirit that raised
Christ from the dead dwells in you. That means God’s miracle-working power is
on the inside of you. He’s given you His authority to declare peace over your
home, over your mind, and over your family. Remember, no matter what storms may
come against you, the Greater One lives on the inside of you, and He’ll empower
you to live in victory in every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
in heaven, thank You for filling me with Your Holy Spirit and for giving me
Your authority here on earth. Today I declare peace over every area of my life
and thank You for working things out for my good in Jesus’ name.
