Put on Jesus

“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12-17‬

Lord Jesus, help us all to live this way.

Love the Lord

“O love the Lord, all you His godly ones! The Lord preserves the faithful And fully recompenses the proud doer. Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the Lord.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:23-24‬

Boast in the Lord

“But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:14‬

The Apostle Paul wrote these words. If anyone had a right to boast it would be him, yet he understood that even his greatest accomplishments in this world were not what really mattered. It is the salvation we have through faith in Christ that saves us. It is Jesus death on the cross that made a way for us to be in the family of God. Boast in Christ today and put not faith in the things of this world.

Trust in the Lord

“Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭37:1-6‬ ‭ESV‬‬
