"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).
Thank You, Lord, for the
mountain top experiences in the exciting places You send me and in the
interesting ministry You bring me. But let me also continue. Thank You for the
powerful encounters of Your Presence and power in the supernatural ways of Your
Kingdom. But let me also continue. Thank You for the mighty deliverances through
all the challenging circumstances in my life or the lives of those You bring
into mine. But let me also continue.
There are mountaintop
experiences and breakthrough encounters along the journey of faith that are so
fascinating and exciting. But they are dramatic experiences and encounters
within the broader context of a life-long journey. And not every day, nor even
every season, necessarily has in store those kinds of "off-the-charts" and
"over-the-top" experiences. So I also need Your grace to consistently continue
the path You set before me in the journey of faith. And I need Your wisdom to
remember that neither my journey nor anyone else's is any less significant when
they are in the season of "continue" instead of in the moments of
"encounter."
So whether exciting or
mundane, whether in the nations or at home, I choose by Your grace to continue
to live my life in You. With each step of every choice, let me continue to be
rooted and grounded in You and Your Word, continue to be built up and
established in You and Your faith, and continue to be abounding in thanksgiving
for all You're doing instead of murmuring in complaining about whatever I may
think it is that You're not doing. It's a great adventure. But I'll never see
what adventure the next day will hold unless I keep choosing each day to
continue on in You. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
