. . . made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: . . Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son. ~Colossians 1:12-13 The power of darkness once held each of us captive, but the power of Christ set us free and brought us into His kingdom. For everyone who has said "yes" to Jesus, our old life is in the past, and our new life in Christ is now. It doesn't matter how we feel about it.
May the Holy Spirit show us today that we have already been moved into the kingdom of our Elder Brother Jesus Christ. Because we are royal in Christ, the power of darkness no longer has a hold on us. In Christ's kingdom, the last will be first, the weak will be strong, and the poor will inherit our Father's wealth. I hope that every Christian will pray the same thing that Paul did in Ephesians: that God and our Father would provide us the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that we can know Him better. May our hearts' eyes be opened so we can see the hope of His calling and the wonderful inheritance we have in the saints! Prayer: Thank you, Father, for bringing me out of darkness and into the kingdom of your Son. Please help me fully understand the incredible freedom I have in Christ so that I can live as a child of Light even in the dark world around me. Please open my heart's eyes fully today so I can understand the hope of my calling and the wonderful inheritance I have with all the saints. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
