Morning Devotional – Inspirational And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 NET It is always an advantage to have the laws of a kingdom as concise as possible. The amount of litigation caused by our English code is immense. In God’s government the matter is plain enough--included in the Ten Commandments, and further reduced by Christ to, two. Our text is an instance of the brevity of Divine precepts. It contains a law applicable to every action, word, thought, place, circumstance in a few brief words. In the realm of spirit as of matter when we see a great result we know that behind it is a great cause; and we may search the world and we shall not find a power over human hearts comparable with that which lies in this name. What combination of forces has cut so deep a groove across the world? One or two of the world’s heroes and sages have won wide admiration and respect, but who has laid his hand on so many hearts and touched for good so many lives? Bad as the world is, what is good in it is due to Jesus Christ. Even now the good is gaining the victory, and the King is Christ. Blot out that name and you blot out the best part of history, all that is purest in morals, elevating in literature, gentle in manners, merciful in laws. Time weakens other forces, but it adds vigor to this. So whatever your task today, invoke the name of Jesus and all will be blessed.
