Leaning on Him

Colossians 1:4

4 For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus [the leaning of your entire human personality on Him in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness] and of the love which you [have and show] for all the saints (God’s consecrated ones),

😄 Yes I am aware that I am writing this week's Monday devotions about the same scripture than a few weeks ago. However, it is from a different translation. This time it is from the Amplified Translation, thus the words in brackets are an explanation of what the words mean in the original language. So re-reading verse 4 this week, but this time in the Amplified version, made me realize that the verse says so much more than what I commented on in the previous post.  Faith in Jesus is explained in the Amplified as the leaning of your entire human personality on Him in absolute trust and confidence in His POWER, WISDOM AND GOODNESS  

Imagine that our faith in Jesus is defined here as leaning our ENTIRE human personality on Him in ABSOLUTE trust and confidence in HIS POWER, HIS WISDOM, HIS GOODNESS.  Need I say more?  

Point to ponder

How much of my ENTIRE personality relies in ABSOLUTE trust and confidence in HIS power, wisdom and goodness? I think I am going to need a month pondering this one, how about you?
