Daily Bible Reading—January 2025, God’s Strengthening Word: Celebrating Unity in Christ JesusMuestra

Introduction

Colossians 1:24–29: The apostle Paul describes how he has suffered for the sake of the gospel and affirms that his task, as a servant of the church, is to proclaim God’s message.

Today’s Key Verse: Colossians 1:27a, c

God’s plan is to make known his secret to his people, … and the secret is that Christ is in you, which means that you will share in the glory of God.

Reflect

Reread verse 27. What are your thoughts about what Paul says regarding God’s plan and the “secret” that God is making known? According to verse 29, what is the source of Paul’s strength? Is this something you can claim? In what ways does Christ give you strength?

Pray

Lord Jesus, thank you for the mighty strength that you provide and which is at work in me. In whatever struggles I may face, I know that you are there to help and guide me. Amen.
