Making Sense Of My Senseless World

Colossians 2:8

"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."

Ever go through a time in your life where nothing seems to make sense? You even begin to doubt your way or the path you have chosen for your life. What is right and what is wrong? Who is right and who is wrong? There are too many voices in the world telling you which way to go.

The question: So, how do you make it through a time of doubt, indecision, or confusion?

The answer: Remain firm in your faith in Christ Jesus.

So where do you begin, how do you remain firm in your faith in Christ?

Colossians 2:6 says, "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him..." If you are going through a time of doubt, indecision, or confusion right now, remind yourself of your salvation. In verse 6, the word receive in Greek is paralambano. It means to join to one's self, not to reject, not to withhold obedience. When you receive Jesus Christ as Lord you are joining yourself to Him to willingly obey His words, His teachings, and His ways.

The second part of Colossians 2:6 says, "continue to live in him." The original Greek word used here for "continue to live in" is peripateo. It means to walk, to make one's way, or progress. In order to make sense of your life right now, don't stop believing! Continue to make your way in Him. In John 14:6a Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life."

Today be reminded that there is no better way to live than to live your life in Christ. He will make sense of your senseless world!

Have a great day! God bless you.
