Devotional-Enduring Joy
Power that outlasts your circumstances is not a myth; it is the promise of Colossians 1 brought to life. We walk through a short, Scripture-rich devotional that blesses you with endurance and patience joined to joy, rooted not in your grit but in God’s glorious might. From rescue out of darkness to life in the kingdom of light, we explore what it means to live as heirs—people who carry a rich and glorious inheritance right now, not just someday.
If your heart needs a steadying word, this devotional offers language to bless your day: eyes enlightened to hope, courage to invest in preparation, and vision to endure birthing pains for the joy set before you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others find hope in the kingdom of light.
The Father's Business was founded by Sylvia Gunter to encourage people to a deeper relationship with God. Thank you for listening to this devotional. Colossians 1, 11 through 13 says, Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might, so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves. Be strengthened with His glorious power, so you will have all the patience and endurance you need with joy. Be blessed with threefold staying power in times of distress, strength, power, and might from him by his glory and for his glory. Deeply know your God so that you will be strong and do great exploits. Be blessed with inexpressible joy imparted by the Holy Spirit, not depending on circumstances. Positively invest in the season of preparation for whatever God is preparing, enduring with joy, not knowing what God is up to. Pay the price to do the daily spiritual disciplines required. Be blessed with great forward-looking vision to withstand the pressure of birthing pains for the joy set before you. Your father allowed you to inherit all covenant blessings that belong to his holy people who live in his kingdom of light. You have a rich and glorious inheritance as his child. You are blessed with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised you. In Christ, you have authority over the power of darkness. Be blessed with the eyes of your heart being enlightened to know your Father's incredibly great power for you, the working of his mighty strength that raised Christ from the dead and seated him at the right hand. He is far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given to this present age. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and appointed him to be the head over everything for the church, which is his body. You are blessed in the name of Jesus, who fills everything everywhere with his presence.
