COLOSSIANS 2:6-7
COLOSSIANS 2:6-7
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow Him. Let your roots grow down into Him and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught and you will overflow with thankfulness.
PRAYER DIRECTION
In these verses, Paul teaches us that accepting Christ as our Savior is not a mere one-time event; rather, He is the foundation upon which we should continually build our lives. Following Jesus means engaging in a life of continual pursuit with a desire to grow closer to Him. As our roots grow down deep into Him, we know Him in a more intimate way. This deeper relationship increases our faith and causes our lives to naturally overflow with gratitude.
PRAYER
Thank You, Jesus, for Your love for me. Instill in me a desire to pursue You daily and grow in my knowledge and love for You. Forgive me for the times I have built my life on things other than You. Help me recognize the moments when I stray, and lead me back to Your path where my roots grow deeper in You. Jesus, You are my greatest treasure; it’s my heart’s desire to know You in a deeper and more intimate way.
