Devotional:
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which
every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of
every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians 4:16 (KJV)
Ephesians and Colossians emphasize that no human being, or even group of
human beings, is head of the Church. Jesus is head of the Church. He sets
our direction. He is our example. He is our goal for ministry. In addition,
Jesus also arranges us in his Body as he chooses, gives us gifts to use to
bless each other and God, and holds us together so that we can effectively
serve as his presence in the world. So let's set our hearts on Jesus. Let's
use his life and love to inspire us and show us how to serve. Let's give him
our allegiance and loyalty. He alone is head of his Body, the Church. Let's
let him lead!
PRAYER:
Righteous Father, thank you for Jesus. Thank you for his example, service,
obedience, love, and sacrifice. Thank you for his resurrection, exaltation,
power, and presence today in your Church and in my life. Father, please use
me, and my brothers and sisters in Christ with me, to do his work in our
world and share your grace with all who are lost. In the name of the Lord
Jesus I pray. Amen.
Wisdom:
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer
hunger. Proverbs 19:15 (KJV)
