The Truth Of The Gospel

 The whole fullness of God's nature dwells bodily in Christ, and all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. As His children, we are privileged to dwell in Him and He in us. We are filled by His Spirit and made complete in Him Who is the head over all rule and authority, principality and power.
 But how often like the disciples we doubt the power, ability, wisdom, and knowledge of the Lord. Like them, we fail to appropriate all that we are in Christ and He in us. No wonder when the doubting disciples were unable to cast out the evil spirit from this poor demon-possessed child, that his father cried: "Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief."
 May we, as the Lords children, cultivate the spiritual discipline and devotion that is so necessary in the life of every Christian in this world which so desperately needs to hear The Truth Of The Gospel. May we repent of any pride or neglect that has caused us to doubt the power, ability, wisdom, knowledge, or truth of Christ Jesus our Lord, in Whom dwells all the treasures of God's wisdom, knowledge, strength, and grace. Let us remember that we have been made complete in Him, for His praise and glory.
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, forgive us for the times when our trust in You has been overshadowed by foolish doubt, and our spiritual walk has strayed from the paths of righteousness, truth, and wisdom. Strengthen us, Lord, and help our unbelief. Help us to fulfill the work that you have prepared for us to do, in the power of Your Holy Spirit, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
