Colossians 2:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)
1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.
These devotionals go out into the World Wide Web to be seen by anyone that might find them while they seek God. I can relate to Paul’s words not having seen them face to face. I too struggle with the words to reach them at a time where a word in due season might be used of God.
I have no knowledge of what plausible arguments they might hear which mislead them away from a closer relationship with God. I can only relate to those things which I have seen and heard which are stained with Satan’s breath. I cannot believe that I have experienced all the rich lies of the enemy.
This is why the truth must be repeated over and over again. Only truth can combat all lies.
The one thing Doctor Keith Lamb repeated nearly every sermon was; “Repetition is the price for knowledge.”
What can I repeat that will have the most benefit to any reader?
It might be “Christ in you.”
Colossians 3:15-17 English Standard Version (ESV)
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
