Daily Devotionals

For today’s devotion, we invite you to spend time pondering God’s message to you in this passage from Colossians 1.

 

Read it slowly.

Ask yourself, “What is God saying to me? What lesson should I learn?”

Ask yourself, “How is God inviting me to respond to this truth?”

 

Consider how your life might be shaped, changed, or formed by the truth in this passage.

 

Read the passage again, this time as a prayer. Ask God to make the truth it teaches or the response it asks for a reality in your life.

 

Spend a few minutes in quiet reflection and celebration as you close your devotion time.

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.  He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

 

Colossians 1:15-20
