Today’s Scripture
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”
—Colossians 1:9-14 (NKJV)
“Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.’”
—Luke 23:34 (NKJV)
“‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
—Matt. 6:12-15 (NIV)
Reflect on the Word
Jesus has invited us into His greatest desire: that the world would be reconciled back to God. We have been filled with the Spirit, anointed for our generation and commissioned to see the kingdom of God on Earth as it is in heaven. Considering all that God has done, we desire to live lives worthy of Him. Let’s reclaim the privilege of belonging to Jesus and put the radical love of God on display in all that we do.
Prayer + Contemplation
- Take time and reflect on the moments of calling and purpose that mark your life. Why are you leading? What has God spoken to over the years? What are the prophetic words that have marked your journey? Take hold again of the promises of God over your life. As you pray, reflect on your identity in Christ, and recommit any place in your life that is needed to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received.
- Pray for other leaders you know to stand against the lies and schemes of the enemy that are set against them, that God would strengthen them and give them true identity.
- Pray that those in your church or small-group community would live a life worthy of our collective calling and fulfill the assignment God has given us.
Family Moment: Walking worthy
Read Colossians 1:9-14. Make a family foot collage. Using washable paint, stamp the bottom of one foot of each person in your family onto a separate sheet of paper, or trace each person’s foot with a marker. When the footprints have dried, cut each piece out and glue them so they overlap onto an 11×17 sheet of paper. Notice the difference in sizes—we are each at a different stage of life and in our walk with Christ. Write the following on the collage: “We choose to walk worthy of the Lord. We will grow to know
Him more.”
