So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-7
Continue to live your lives. That can be really hard to do when you have lost a loved one, a job, or your health. You often ask, how am I supposed to go on living. Everything around you seems dark and takes your will to live away. Even if you have a will to live, you don’t see how you possibly can get through life.
Living your life in Jesus doesn’t mean everything will always be beautiful and wonderful, and you will never face pain. No, it means you will walk through the darkness, troubles, and pain. You just will never walk alone. You will be strengthened through your faith. You will know that today may not be OK and tomorrow may not look so good either, but someday you will be better. Until then, God has you in His hands. He knows what you are going through, and feels your pain. The Holy Spirit is providing you the strength and even the peace you need to keep on keeping on today.
Eventually, you will feel the overflowing of thankfulness in your spirit again, but today just continue to live your life through Christ, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught.
Lord, thank you for the strength to just keep on keeping on when the days look bleak. ~amen
