Not Being Fooled by the World's Philosophy

Lord, there is no one like You! For You are great, and Your name is full of power. Who would not fear You, O King of nations? That title belongs to You alone! Among all the wise people of the earth and in all the kingdoms of the world, there is no one like You. [Jeremiah 10:6&7] 

Holy Spirit I start my week seeking to offer my life as a living sacrifice to You today and each day forward. I seek to renew my mind with Your word, with worship, with testimonies and wise writings from inspired authors who follow You. Let me be obedient and cognizant of what You inspired Paul to write that says: “So then, just as I have received Christ Jesus as Lord, I will continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as I have been taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. I will be aware lest anyone tries to cheat me through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and I am complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” [Colossians 2:6-10] 

I pray and ask that I may be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that I may walk worthy of You, fully pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of You; strengthened with all might, according to Your glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light. You have delivered me from the power of darkness and conveyed me into the kingdom of the Son of Your love, in whom I have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. You are the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by You, all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through You for You. And You are before all things, and in You, all things exist. And You are the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things You may have the preeminence. In Your blessed Son Jesus’ name, Amen. (Colossians 1:9-18)
