Struggling Well With Life

Paul was praying for the believers in Colosse, praying that they would be filled with the knowledge of His will . . . in order that they may live a life worthy of the Lord. I am praying that for us too, for me. That I would live up to who I have been called to follow, in no way to earn anything - that’s been done. But to look like Jesus, to live like Him in all the areas of my life today. I want to live a life worthy of the Lord. It sounds simple, but is a challenge in this very moment. From the first interaction this morning outside my bedroom door, to the multiple exchanges with folks already today I sense the pressure to live for myself, to live for others - to live a life worthy of others. The call is so much greater than that. To live a life worthy of Jesus, and His mark on my life. This strength, the kind of power to live like this, is not in me, so I am asking God to do what only He can do - to give me this strength and power. Trusting Him, even now, for something beyond me.
