Constantly

 

The gospel is constantly
bearing fruit

and spreading
by God’s power

just like it’s doing
among us

since we heard it
that first hour.

**********

You are with me, bearing fruit.

“Indeed, just as in the whole world the gospel is constantly bearing fruit and spreading [by God’s power], just as it has been doing among you ever since the day you first heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth [becoming thoroughly and deeply acquainted with it].

Preeminence

“And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.”  Colossians 1:18

Someone has to go first.

Thank You, Jesus, for being our Line Leader, our Preeminent One!  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Our Preeminent One                                            

You are
above everything
and in everything
You are
our first born
full of glory
our preeminent
Shining Star.

 

I forgot to mention that we finished 1 Chronicles and get to
go back to the New Testament for Colossians! 🙂 Only, it’s
really short!
