Ginny - Col 2

Good Morning Girlz!!!

S - "My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." vs 2-3

O - I chose this verse not b/c I necessarily understood it, but it intrigued me. Complete understanding of the mystery of God. A charge that leads me right back to His Word. In order to know Him and His ways, I must know His heart, and to know His heart I must be in His Word.

A - Why do things have to be a mystery and hidden? Why can't it be so obvious what I should do and how I should think? Why does it have to be so tricky? Although, most of that I truly don't understand part of me would venture to say it has more to do with my sin than with God trying to be sneaky. Growing up my mom use to always say, "God is not a God of confusion." So in other words, if things are running around in your head and you have no idea what to do, it's not of God. Give the anxiety over to Him and He will help you through it. God is simple: love. United in love as verse 2 says. How much confusion would be solved in my life if I just loved and kept it at that.

P - Lord please continue to chisel away that which does not belong in my life. I ask for united love with those around me, that they may see You in me. Give me patience to clear the muddy water and return to Your truth when situations get sticky. Lord I don't want to be mediocre. I want to see things and others through Your eyes. Teach me Your ways.
