Walking with God in Unbroken Fellowship

 

Walking with God in Unbroken Fellowship

Colossians 2:6-7 (NIV)

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."

Colossians 2:6-7 sets the foundation for a life centered around Christ. It calls us to maintain an ongoing, active relationship with Christ. It is not a decision that we make once but a continual journey of living in agreement with His teachings.

Hebrew 11:7 tells us that Noah lived a righteous life and walked closely with God, who revealed His plans to him. The key to Noah’s success was his unwavering faith in God and his unbroken fellowship with Him. As believers, we too need to keep near to God to hear His still small voice and discern His plans for us. Walking in unbroken fellowship with Him brings us the happiest experience in life. Through our obedience to Him, we can also become instruments of His saving grace to others.

Paul in Colossians states that we must be “Rooted and built up in Christ.” This emphasizes the importance of being deeply rooted in Himt, like a tree firmly planted in the soil. It speaks to the stability and strength that comes from a profound connection with Jesus. The passage encourages us to grow and be strengthened in our faith. This implies an ongoing process of learning and maturing in our understanding of the Christian faith. We are encouraged to maintain a thankful attitude, recognizing God's grace and goodness in our lives.

As you reflect on Colossians 2:6-7 let your Christian life be characterized by continual growth, stability, and gratitude; all rooted in a vibrant and unbroken fellowship with Christ. This is an invitation to walk closely with God and to let that relationship shape every aspect of your life.

  Endurance in Suffering: Finding God in Pain" Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope."   Romans 5:3-4 is a powerful passage that speaks to finding strength and growth through adversity. Paul encourages believers to find purpose in their suffering. Instead of being defeated by trials, we are called to persevere, knowing that endurance develops character and leads to hope. Reflecting on this passage, finding God in pain can mean recognizing His presence during our trials. Pain is a worldwide experience, something we all face at different points in our lives. In my personal journey as a Christian pain served as a facilitator for growth beyond mere affliction. The loss of a child stands as one of life's most poignant trials for a woman. Enduring several miscarriages, I clung to hope and prayer for a successful pregnancy. Yet, after week...

  " God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss Isaiah 57:1 (NIV) "The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil." In Isaiah 51:1 Isaiah declares the fate of the righteous, they perish, and it goes unnoticed or misunderstood by people. We often mourn the loss of the righteous without realizing that their departure might be a merciful act from God. He spares them from future evils and suffering that they might otherwise endure. In life’s journey there are times when the events around us seem to challenge our understanding. One such perplexing event is the untimely passing of those who live righteously. Isaiah 57:1 provides a profound insight into God’s wisdom and timing, reminding us that there is a greater purpose behind what we perceive as loss. My own experience is the untimely passing of one of my most precious gift from God, my eighteen-year-old so...

Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress

  Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress 1 Samuel 1:10 (NLT) “Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord.” 1 Samuel 1:10 shows us the deep emotional pain that Hannah was experiencing. She was deeply distressed because she longed for a child and felt the pain of barrenness. Her pain was not just a passing moment but a persistent anguish that weighed on her heart. In her desperation, she turned to God in prayer, pouring out her grief and sorrow. The Lord heard and gave her the desire of her heart. Hannah is an example of someone who is unashamed to pour out their soul to the Lord, because they know that he listens, hears, cares, and relieves even the deepest of pains. When we face moments of deep distress, like Hannah, we are invited to come before God with our hearts wide open, knowing that He sees, hears, and cares. Jesus in Matthew 11:28 tell us to   “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”  This t...
