Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Praise the Lord!
Today we will meditate upon our behavior in turbulent times.
Everyone faces a turbulence in his life, nobody is spared and has to go through trials and temptations which test our mind and forces us to think whether we are doing right in accordance to God's will. we sometimes question whether God is with us and whether we are facing these trials for sin in our lives.
Paul has beautifully summed up what we need to do during the times which are against us. In this verse we can find three things we need to do during the turbulent times.
1. We need to have our faith grounded.
2. We need to settle our faith.
3. We need to never move from the hope of the gospel.
Faith is the key for all the answers when you face issues, questions, doubts, trials, temptations, hurt and humiliation.
Faith is the only answer to your problems. Jesus said to Jairus. " Don't be afraid, only believe". Paul in Hebrews in chapter 11 gave a full explanation on faith.
If we read the previous verse we get the benefit for the faith we have on our Lord.
1. We get the peace through his blood. ( Colossians 1:20)
2. We are being reconciled for our mistakes and sins through Him. (Colossians 1:21)
3. We are presented holy, unblameable, unreproveable in front of the Father.
Saints, have faith for Lord will definitely perform what he has promised to you. You are an apple of His eye. Nothing will come to you without his knowledge.
Everything will work out for good for those who love God. ( Roman 8:28)
God Bless
