Have you ever felt adrift in a sea of changing opinions and endless distractions? Today's devotional from Colossians 3:16 offers the perfect antidote: becoming anchored in God's Word.

We dive deep into what it means to let "the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives." This beautiful passage reminds us that Scripture isn't just something we read—it's meant to saturate our entire being. When God's Word fills us completely, it creates stability in an unstable world. As we discuss in this episode, you simply can't live out what you don't know, which makes knowing Scripture intimately so crucial for our daily walk.

The devotional unpacks how this anchoring process works practically. When Scripture becomes rooted in our hearts and minds, we gain both wisdom to share with others and personal strength to stand firm against life's challenges. There's something profoundly transformative about letting God's truth become the foundation from which we operate. The practical challenge for today invites you to memorize just one verse—one that specifically speaks to your current life situation. By writing it down and repeating it until it takes root in your heart, you begin the powerful process of Scripture saturation.

Join us for this brief but impactful devotional that will help you start your day with spiritual clarity and purpose. Want more daily wisdom?

Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.
