“GOD’S MYSTERY!”
Colossians 1:26-27 
“The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

I am so glad I grew up in the days of radio. The radio dramas were something that we constantly looked forward to. They allowed the listeners to use their own imaginations to envision the unfolding story. One such program was “I Love A Mystery," and just as the title suggests, it was a mystery program. It was thrilling to listen as the characters read their lines and the sound effects gave the impression of reality.

In today’s Scripture, Paul reveals a spiritual mystery for us. It is a mystery that was hidden from those who lived before the time of Christ. They may have had some suggestion of this mystery, but it was only in a veiled manner. It was a mystery that would have to wait for its fulfillment in Jesus.

It is obvious that people have been searching for the mystery of how God chooses to work. The answer Paul gives is that it is from the inside out. Wow! There it is once again — not what we do to prove we are righteous, but the indwelling presence of God to work in and through us.

Are you trying to do what God alone can do? Read today’s Scripture once again and realize that the answer to the mystery of mysteries is that it is Christ within us and that is our eternal assurance. Praise the Lord!

Blessings dear hearts.  May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
