That is why we keep on talking to God about you since the day we heard about you. We ask him that you may know everything he wants you to do. We ask him that you may be very wise and that the Spirit will help you to understand.
We ask him that you will live the way the Lord wants you to live, so that you will please him in everything you do. We ask that you will do everything that is good. We ask that you will see the fruit from what you do. We ask that you will know more and more about God. God has wonderful power. And we ask him to give you all the strength you need to go through all your troubles, to be very patient in them, and to be happy. Thank the Father who has made us ready to be with the people of God who live in his light. (WE)
Colossians 1:9-12
| DAY 4—Even if we fall, God will pick us up. |

Isaiah 41:8-10 "But you, Israel, are my servant. You're Jacob, my first choice, descendants of my good friend Abraham. I pulled you in from all over the world, called you in from every dark corner of the earth, Telling you, 'You're my servant, serving on my side. I've picked you. I haven't dropped you.' Don't panic. I'm with you. There's no need to fear for I'm your God. I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.’ (MSG)
Psalm 37:23,24—The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in His way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with His hand.
[LRT] The goings of a warrior in God’s troops are determined by the Lord, and he takes pleasure in the way that has been ordained for him. Even though he might stumble under some attack from the enemy, he shall not be cast out of the race, for the Lord remains ever with Him to sustain him in the fight.
FATHER, I rejoice in Your calling. Thank You for placing Your trust in me. But, when I think on the details of the task, I tremble. Oh, I know I must think on You and Your power! Please draw my heart into Your bosom. Teach me to wait on You. Teach me to open myself to You and just let You live in me.
Obedience to His will is the best sacrifice we can make unto the Lord.—Psalm 40:1-17
