Morning by Morning, January 10 – Getting Settled and Established

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. My eyes are on You, my ears are listing, my spirit is waiting for Your leading, as I rest in Your Presence.  …

 

“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving” (Colossians 2:6-7).

 

It takes some time to get settled and established in every new season. A new town, a new job, a new home—whatever it is that’s new, we call it “new” because it’s new to us. Many times, it’s not really “new” to everyone else, just “new” to you, so it takes a little time to catch up, get settled in, and established.

 

But even through the changes and transitions and newness of life, we can remain established in the faith, secure in Your love. We can position our perspective in the humility of willingly choosing to be desperately dependent upon You alone. We can trust by faith in the power of Your grace to get us settled and established in line with Your purposes.  “The God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you” (1 Peter 5:10). In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
