Choosing to Trust God

 

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy”

—Colossians 2:8

In our present culture, we are pulled in many directions. A whole host of philosophies, traditions, and concepts vie for control over our hearts and minds. We struggle not to become deceived and fall under the spell of evil influences.

The first century Christians faced similar struggles. Notice what the Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 2:8-10:

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

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.

With renewed confidence in our Savior and Lord, let us begin this day knowing that we can place our trust in His Word to keep our hearts and minds pointed in the right direction.
