Devotion for Wednesday, July 9th, 2009 - "Pleasing, bearing fruit, and Increasing - It's all in a day's work"

Colossians 1:10 "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God:"

As Christians we must remember that we have a work that needs to be done. And because we have work to do, we must also remember it is important how the work gets done. Here in Colossians 1:10 the Bible says that we should be walking worthy of the Lord, and what we do should not only bear fruit, but it should be fruit that is pleasing to Him. As we bear pleasing fruit we should increase in our knowledge in order to keep on producing that pleasing fruit.

We have all heard the saying, "if it's not broke, don't fix it." You know the same is true in the Christian life. The things that were pleasing to God and bore fruit 75 years ago, are still just as pleasing to Him and still bear just as much fruit.

Increase you knowledge today, and bear some fruit that would be pleasing to the Lord. What worked for you last week will work again. Keep on keepin' on! It's all in a days work.
