Life Principles

"Father, Make Us Wise" is an incredible prayer of wisdom that is at our fingertips... just waiting for us to digest and embrace. What I'd like to do is share from my heart what I'm learning in this journey... We'll call it... "Wisdom Deposits..." Here's what I'm learning from Colossians 3... I call it... "Life Principles to Live By..."

Colossians 3:1-4: Engage in Eternity... Think eternally..
Colossians 3:5-6: Don't get caught up in worldly pleasures..

Colossians 3:7-9: Get rid of the negativity characteristics in your life...
Colossians 3:10: Become more and more like Jesus...
Colossians 3:11: Stop separating yourself from others... Jesus doesn't do that...
Colossians 3:12: God chose me!
Colossians 3:12-13: Be intentionally positive... forgive, be kind... work at these until they become natural!
Colossians 3:14: Above everything... everything... love people! What would our world be like if we would just live by that!
Colossians 3:14-15: Love brings perfect harmony! One body... one prayer!
Colossians 3:16: Do Life-Together: teach, read, sing, counsel... build intentional relationships... all centered around the message of Jesus!
Colossians 3:17: Be really appreciative in everything!
Colossians 3:18-22: Love your spouse, your children, your parents as you love Jesus!
Colossians 3:23-25: In your work... work as if Jesus is right beside you... because He is!
Colossians 3:25: God has no favorites! I love that truth!

I love those deposits... now, comes the part of embracing each of them and adopting the wisdom that comes from each nugget of truth! What's God teaching you in your daily devotional time?
