May 4, 2022 - Colossians 2:9-10

“For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.” Colossians 2:9-10 NLT

Jesus, we thank you that even though you took on a human body, you are still God. You are all powerful and all knowing. We praise you that you are the head over every ruler and authority. Regardless of whether they recognize you or not, it makes no difference. The reality is that you are the ultimate ruler. All authority starts and stops with you. You are the giver of life, and you decide when life ends for each of us. You are the All-Mighty God, the Alpha and Omega, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. Nothing comes close to rivalling you.

Jesus, we thank you so much for coming to earth as a human so that you could pay our ransom. Thank you for making a way for us to be reunited with you. We thank you that you made a way for us to live in the fullness you created us for. We are so grateful that we are complete through our union with you. This means that we don’t have to be lacking anything. We will never find the longings in us fulfilled by anything else. It is you who fills our lack and satisfies us. The definition of “complete” is to make whole or perfect. Lord, we thank you that we are made perfect through you. We are whole. What a wonderful fact. All praise to you for this fact. Show us, if we aren’t living in the fullness of who you designed us to be, what lies we need to uproot so we can accept the fullness of all you have for us. Please forgive us for buying into lies that would tell us differently. Help us recognize and uproot those lies in our lives. Help us fully believe and walk out in the truth of this verse. We thank you for all you have done for us and all that you have planned for us. What a privilege to be loved by you. We say yes to you.

In Jesus name, amen.
