Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. (Colossians 1:10)
An encouragement to align our lives around a single great principle: Is the way that we’re living pleasing to God? In Genesis 6:8, we’re told that in the ancient world, when wickedness and violence was everywhere, one man decided instead to live in a way pleasing to God. The Message translates the verse in a way that really resonates in my heart: “God liked what he saw in Noah.”
