Hidden Treasures

 Scripture:

"In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3NLT).

Observation:

Pauls says this simple statement that is very powerful when you think about it. He says that in Christ lie all the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Everything we need for insight, wisdom, knowledge, perspective, etc. is found in Christ. He is the source of everything we need.

Application:

Sometimes we try hard to figure everything out and to make our lives work smoothly, when everything we really need is in Jesus already. I should spend more time with Him and less time trying to figure everything out. He had all the knowledge in the world and knows my best next move. He knows exactly what I need. I should be running to Him more and leaning on my own understanding less and less.

Prayer:

Lord, in YOU are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. You are the source of everything I need to know for my future and present. Help me to lean less on my own understanding and more on You. Let my time with You be more productive. Let me hear Your voice more clearly and see what You are doing.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
