Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Walking With Christ
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: Colossians 1:9-12
The pathway of faith has divine purpose, and we’re to obey the Lord, no matter what. But even when God’s direction is perplexing, we can count on the fact that He is good.
Walking obediently with Christ doesn’t guarantee an easy life, which is obvious when we consider the apostle John. In his later years, he was exiled to the island of Patmos—a Roman penal colony—simply for preaching the gospel (Revelation 1:9). Isolated from the churches he loved and served, John could have questioned God’s plan. But it was during this exile that he received the revelation that became the final book of the New Testament.
Remember, though, that God is sovereign and works through every circumstance we face. He can bring strength and growth even from difficult seasons, using what we endure as part of His larger purposes.
Choosing obedience and trust is the only way to true peace. Even in exile, John experienced God’s presence and purpose in ways that would encourage believers for centuries to come. The Lord never lets go of His children, whom He will continue to protect and guide throughout life. This is the pathway of faith: believing in Almighty God and following wherever He leads.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Isaiah 23-27
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Life takes us down unexpected roads. But with God as our guide, we can walk with confidence wherever He leads.
