Bible Verse of the Day:
I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. 2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, Colossians 2:1-3.
Biblical Connection:
Bill Murray plays motivational speaker Jack Corcoran who finds out about the secret past of his father. Upon receiving a misleading telegram about a huge inheritance from his circus clown father, Jack is stuck with a destructive elephant. This inconvenience places Jack’s speaking engagements on hold until he is able to figure out what to do with Vera. This is what leads Jack into renting an 18-wheeler which he doesn’t have a clue on how to operate.
Every day on earth is filled with intrigue, fueled by mysteries of the unknown. Sometimes unforeseen circumstances place you into a position where you don’t know what you’re doing. In a letter to the Church at Colosse, the apostle Paul encourages Christians who don’t have a clear understanding of the mysteries of God. Since faith is a process of facing daily trials and tribulations, keep seeking out Jesus to uncover treasures of knowledge and wisdom.
Closing Song:
Whenever you’re a famous actor or a nobody, life lessons are discovered through trial and error. If you currently find yourself in uncharted territory, place your trust in Jesus until you receive clarity and guidance to help through clueless moments in life.
