The Word To Live By: 1-17-26
Phil Waggoner
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge… 1 Corinthians 1:4,5
The Word To Live By: I was watching some young people the other day playing in giant, clear, plastic, round bubbles. They had boundary lines and the object was to run your bubble into the other person’s bubble and knock them out of bounds and out of the game. If Jesus is your Lord, then you are in Christ Jesus, you are in His kingdom, in His bubble. The boundary line is your life. The world has its own bubble and it is trying to knock you out of the Kingdom of God. The world’s weapons are tests, trials, and tribulations. The good news is you have little, tiny swords sticking out of your bubble and every time you run into one of the world’s bubbles, your two-edged swords pop it and they’re out of the game. How do you make your bubble go? Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, inside your bubble is speech and knowledge of the wisdom of God. Don’t just sit in the middle of the field and hope nothing hits you. Attack! In Him you live, and move, and have your being. “For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ,” (Romans 5:17). “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them,” (Stay in the bubble. Ephesians 2:10). “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus,” (Philippians 4:19). Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,” (Stay in the bubble. Colossians 2:6). Have a great day!
