Thought for the day

Colossians 1:9 – 18

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it,
Do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you
May be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and
Spiritual understanding; that you amy
Walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every
Good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Strengthened with all might,
According to his glorious power, for all patience
And longsuffering with joy;
Giving thanks to the father who has qualified us to be
Partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
He has delivered us from the power of darkness
and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
in whom we have redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.
Fir by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth,
Visible and invisible, whether thrones or
Dominions or principalities or powers. All
things were created through Him and for Him.
And he is before all things, and in Him
All things consist.
And He is the head of the body, the
Church, who is the beginning, the firstborn
From the dead, that in all things He may
Have the pre-eminence.
