Today God says:
"It pleases Me that all fullness dwells in Jesus Christ".
He promises me:
"For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell". (Col. 1:19)
My response to the word:
Jesus Christ is before all things, and I want Him to have pre-eminence in my life at all times. By Him all things consist - in the universe and in my life as well. He is the centre of my life, and He holds everything together for me. He is completion, wholeness, and fullness in every respect. It pleases the Father that all fullness dwells in Jesus. It pleases me to know that Jesus lives within me, and I claim His wholeness for my life - spirit, soul and body.
My prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for Jesus Christ. I acknowledge the truth that all fullness resides in Him. I will walk in Him, and in His wholeness, throughout this day.
Today's scriptures:
"The church is Christ's body and completes Him as He fills everything in every way". (Eph. 1:23 GW) "You will know Christ's love, which goes far beyond any knowledge. I am praying this so that you may be completely filled with God". (Eph. 3:19 GW) "May the God who gives peace make you holy in every way. May He keep your whole being - spirit, soul and body - blameless when our Lord Jesus Christ comes". (1 Thess. 5:23 GW)
Quote for today:
Though every believer has the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit does not have every believer. (A W Tozer)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
