Grilled shrimp foil packets ** A manner worthy

Colossians 1: 10

“…So as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;”

       *** Fist, we are to live a life worthy of the Lord.

This is terribly complicated; however, I think we can make it complicated.

We seem to forget, that we are not being asked to do something we have not been empowered to do.

We are expected to living in a manner in which is different.

       ***Next, we are to please Him in every way.

The Lord expects us to reflect His character in all that we do.

This is what Jesus tells us in John 5:30: “By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but Him who sent me”.

You see, Jesus’ ambition, His goal… was to please the Father.

Which means, that Jesus would never do anything that would not please the Father.

He was perfectly fair, just, and reasonable.

And although it’s not always easy for us to ‘please God in every way.’

The Lord expects us to reflect God’s character… in all that we do!

Because of Jesus… because of the hope we have reserved in heaven…

Because of the indwelling of the Spirit of God… we have been given the ability to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord…

We have the opportunity of walking with our Heavenly Father.

We have the opportunity to join with Him… and know Him more and more every day.

As we grow in our knowledge of God… living a life worthy of him becomes much less complicated…

As we grow in our knowledge of God… pleasing him in every way will become more and more important...

But it begins with being filled with the knowledge of His will.
