Truth as a Guide
How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thought and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?—Psalm 13:1–2 (NIV)
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.—Colossians 2:6–7 NIV
Jesus wants us to grow spiritually strong and develop deep and strong roots by studying His Word and following His guidance. The more time we devote to our relationship with God, the stronger we grow.
Heavenly Father, I praise You for planting me firmly as I grow in faith.
