Scripture: Colossians 2: [7] rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. <\/p>\n
Observation: If I was rooted and built up in Christ and if I had a strong faith I would see all of the things I should be grateful for, but I am weak and distracted. Each morning I want to walk with Jesus and please Him with what I do that day, but it doesn\u2019t take long before problems overwhelm my thoughts and Jesus takes a back seat again. I forget all the blessings and grace I should be thankful for and fall into a pit of self-indulgence. <\/p>\n
Application: There is so much to be thankful for if I would concentrate on that, there wouldn\u2019t be any time left to feel lost and hopeless. If I have to I should carry a list of things to be thankful and have the mind to pull it out if I get distracted. I need to have scripture ready, because it is the enemy that is distracting me from fulfilling God\u2019s plan for my life. I have everything I need in Christ to accomplish His purpose here and He already has a new home ready for me when I\u2019m finished here.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord forgive your servant for the lack of faith I have. Forgive me for being so easily distracted and give me strength and wisdom to see all the blessings you surround me with. I thank you Lord for all you have given me and all you have in store for me, may I never forget your benefits. I love you Father help me please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
