Steadfast
The Lord Most High would remind you today:
Though the waters may look like they continue to rise and the winds seem to constantly batter and blow, I call upon you, my people, to rise up above all chaos.
Let me steady you as you keep your eyes fixed upon me.
Do not let the storms keep you locked away inside, hidden away from all things.
Remember who it is that you are speaking to.
Remember who it is that goes before you, keeping your path straight and narrow.
I am your keeper, defender, master, and maker. I see through it all and from Heaven’s gates, my eyes remain fixed on you.
Activation: Take a moment to ask yourself if there is any fear that you are carrying. Take a hold of anything that arises; close your eyes and look to Jesus. Hold out the things you are fearful of to Jesus and be ready to receive from him anything that he’d like to give you instead. Declare over yourself today: “Through the power of Christ within me, I am strong and courageous! I rise over all fear and chaos.”
Colossians 1:15-28 (NLT)
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see – such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything.
Colossians 3:1-4 (NLT)
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honour at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
