Colossians 1:10 encourages us to “walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him: bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God.” This verse highlights two vital aspects of our Christian journey. And it is not the first time we are encouraged in this way. Ephesians 4:1, “ As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received…”

As believers, we are called to produce good fruit in our lives through our actions and deeds. This fruit is evidence of our faith and a reflection of God’s work within us. Bearing good fruit involves acts of love, kindness, service, and obedience to God’s will.

Alongside bearing good fruit, we are encouraged to grow in the knowledge of God. This knowledge is not merely intellectual but also experiential, deepening our understanding of God’s character, His Word, and His will for our lives. As we grow in knowledge, our faith becomes more rooted and our relationship with God strengthens.

The Enemy often exploits moments of vulnerability to whisper destructive thoughts like “You’re nothing.” These words can undermine our self-worth and lead to inaction and self-doubt. They can also take root in our hearts. But today, let’s learn to reject these hurtful whispers. 

To combat the belief that you are “nothing” and reinforce your worth in God’s eyes, consider these practices: immerse yourself in Scripture to affirm your identity and worth, spend intentional time in prayer, seek support from trusted Christian friends or mentors, keep a journal to track your journey toward rejecting negative beliefs, and develop personal affirmations rooted in God’s truth, reminding yourself daily that you are a beloved child of God.
