Monday Reflection | Colossians 1:9-14

Passage:
And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; 12 giving thanks[a] to the Father, who has qualified you[b] to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Song:
Give Thanks to God by Allan McKinlay and Peter Crockett

Lyrics:
He sent His Son to die and rise again to save us
His never ending love is steadfast and sure
He’s broken our chains and given us freedom
Give thanks to God for He is good

In Him we are alive and have joy everlasting
His never ending love is steadfast and sure
He casts out all fear and fills us with courage
Give thanks to God for He is good

When storms come and rage His peace overwhelms us
His never ending love is steadfast and sure
The Lord is our refuge when trouble surrounds us
Give thanks to God for He is good
Give thanks to God for He is good

He’s always pouring out His abundant provision
His never ending love is steadfast and sure
For the depths of His riches and
Incredible wisdom
Give thanks to God for He is good

Give thanks to God for He is good

Always good
Always good to me

Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
