Wow, I thank You, Father, for the strength and stamina to get through what we are getting through. Working through Karen’s old homestead is time-consuming, but we are making great strides. All praise to You for Your great love for us and Your enablement to accomplish what we’ve been able to achieve!
Colossians 2:11-15 (<<click here to read the passage)
I am so grateful, Lord, that You and You alone provided me with the wonderful gift of salvation. We both know that sin can still trip me up, but it does not totally take me out; it may have the upper hand in a battle here and there, but because of You, the war is won. And because of my relationship with You, I am a conqueror as well! Because I have embraced Your wonderful gift, my “sinful nature” has been cut away. Sin can still influence me to a certain point, but it does not control me. I am not blinded (or blind-sided) by sin. I clearly see it for what it is, and with You by my side, it is defeated. I give You praise for forgiving “all [my] sins.” And for “canceling the record of the charges against [me]” and taking it “away by nailing it to the cross.”
You get all the credit. Only because of You can I live a life of victory over sin. Help me to stand firm in Your strength more and more. Help my love for You to grow more and more every day and influence every aspect of my life.
