As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: — Colossians 2:6

You can’t change, swap, or update everything. In a time when computer processors change a lot every few months and software companies release new versions every year, we are trained to look for the newest and best version of everything. Jesus is Lord. That’s a simple but deep truth. No changes are needed. No rival is good enough. No need to change. In fact, if we don’t use this as the foundation of our lives, we risk losing everything we care about. But if we keep going, if we keep growing, if we put down roots in this truth and make it the foundation of our lives, then our future is safe and we will win!

Prayer

Holy God, I thank you for the truth that Jesus is Lord, which is simple, hard, and will last forever. I pray that you, Holy Spirit, will shape my life so that my work, my family, and my day-to-day influence show more of his lordship. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
