Devotional
The most horrible thing that would happen to any man in life is doing life without Christ. It’s so insensitive and worse than hell. Nothing would ever make sense to such a man. He may think he has everything in life, but he lacks the real thing of life—peace of mind. He would struggle and scuffle for it, yet no solution to his quest. He may pretend he is living, but he’s merely living. He’s just likened to an empty gong that makes the most of noise. So, the Bible has this to say in Colossians 3:17,
Key Scripture
Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus [and in dependence on Him], giving thanks to God the Father through Him.Col 3:17 AMP
Refreshing for the Day
But on the contrary, when a man is doing life with Christ, everywhere is soft. All things are working so good for him (Rom 8:28), and he has abundance of joy and peace. Even when troubles and challenges would come, the Lord would direct his path off them all (Proverbs 3:6) and will show him favor. So, beloved, I pray for you, as you begin to do life with Christ, may God increase you and show you favor. May you have no reason to regret serving God, in Jesus’ name Amen. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
No matter how you may see it, the truth is life without Christ is a crisis.
Responsibility
So, deliberately begin to make efforts to involve God in everything you do in life.
Pause in His presence
Prayer
O LORD, help my life. Please cause me to know You more, and involve You in everything I do in life, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and pray for other intentions as the Spirit leads)
Carry this with you
Prophetic Word
As you begin to do life with Christ, may He manifest your dreams and vision in life, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
