Striving According to His Working (Colossians 1:29)

2025-07-01

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. (Colossians 1:29)

If everything we do and say and think is tainted with the world and our sin, how do we labor? How do we strive? Only in our giving attention to the countenance of Christ. The only things that matter in this life are those which are done for Christ and by Christ. That is how we labor to enter into His rest. That is how we reckon ourselves dead with Him. We being crucified with Him, being dead and buried, the Lord uses he who has ceased from his own works. What hope is in a corpse? But all the hope in the world is in the living Christ. Just stop and let Him work, believing and yielding to the Lord from heaven.
