God intended to make known to them just what rich glory this mystery contains out there among the nations. And this is the key: the King, living within you as the hope of glory! He is the One we are proclaiming. We are instructing everybody and teaching everybody in every kind of wisdom so that we can present everybody as grown-up and complete in the king. That’s what I am working for, struggling with all His energy, which is powerfully at work within me. Colossians 1:27-29 NTE
The Key
And this is the key that caught my eye this morning!
It is like, "Listen Up Soldiers!"
"Pay Attention, Class!"
"Hear Ye, Hear Ye!".
The King is living within you as the hope of glory!
Do you know which position is closer than with?
Within!
Yes, we have the Spirit of the Son and the Spirit of the Father living within us.
And there is that hope word again, the joyous expectation of good from our Good Father.
Paul says that His energy is so powerful at work within me!
If we get burned out, we must ask, "Whose fuel are we burning?".
So Christ within is our hope of glory, and His energy works powerfully in us!
We woke up today, sons and daughters of God the Father.
Live in the fullness of Him Who is our life. Shalom!
Lord, may this be a day that we recognize more about Who You are and Your purpose for us as Your children. May we live in Your hope that we may carry hope to all we meet and live with. May we not be burning our fuel, but Yours for Your glory. Amen
