Good morning, Friends, 

Colossians 2:2-4 NLT

[2] I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. [3] In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. [4] I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments. 

As the day begins, think closely on Paul's words to the Colossians. God's mysterious plan is solely about Christ Jesus. Paul urges the Colossians to have complete confidence in the understanding of God's plan. A person with understanding of God's plan in Christ will not be deceived by the the arguments of those who oppose Christ. 

Friends, be confident in what you know about Jesus Christ. But don't stop 🛑 there! It’s not enough to just know about Him—we need to live by what God has taught us through Him. There are people out there who will try hard to shake your faith. They come up with clever arguments meant to make you doubt God. But if you truly understand and trust God's plan through Jesus, you won’t be fooled.

I encourage you to delve deeper into the Holy Scriptures! Be on guard against all false teachings and intellectual foolishness. These false arguments attempt to pull you into the circus of bafoonery.  

Use the "Stiff Arm" (it's a football 🏈 term)

Stay on Guard ⚔️

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  

Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

- Grace & Peace
