Today's readings are 2 Chronicles 33.1-25 http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=2+Chron.+33.1-25, Colossians 1.24-2.7 http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Col.+1.24-2.7, and Jonah 1.1-4.11 http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Jonah+1.1-4.11 .
All that we read today is summed up by Paul in Colossians 2.6-7. See how it reads? "Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving" (ESV).
See how whether you are a king, a prophet, a believer in Colosse, a butcher, baker, or candlestick-maker, walking in faith in Christ is what you need. Want to know what God's will for your life is? Walk in faith in Christ. Regardless of your walk of life, your vocation is to give thanks, walking in faith in Christ.
Like the different people we read about today, we fall short ourselves. When the Lord mercifully shows us our sin, let us also give him thanks, for he has provided the cure for sin, Jesus Christ. As we walk in faith, let us rejoice that we can come to Christ with all our sin, turning to him for hope and help.
