God Gives You Power of New Life
Heresy that Jesus is neither
central nor supreme is undermining
the Colossian church. Paul’s
responds to these false teachings
by upholding Christ as the
Preeminent Head of the church
and speaks against man-made
regulations & ritualistic worship.
Instead Paul encourages them
to pursue a godly life befitting
those who are risen with Christ.
Lord, we’ll Be Heavenly Minded:
Since you have been raised to
New Life with Christ,set your sights
on the Realities of heaven. Let
Heaven Fill Your Thots. Do not
think only about things down here
on earth. For you died when Christ
died, and your Real Life is hidden
with Christ in God (Col 3:1-3).
Let the message about Christ in all
its richness, fill your lives. Counsel
each other with all the wisdom He
gives. Sing spiritual songs to God
with thankful hearts (v16). Amen.
Lord, help me to see with new
eyes of faith from these days.
Instead of the troubles of my life
in this world, help me focus my
vision on You, the author and
finisher of my faith; the lover
as well as the keeper of my soul.
Help me to trust in the realities
of Your kingdom & seek it. Amen.
Lord, help me to better understand
the blessings and changes that
salvation brings. The same power
that raised Christ from the dead
is available to me to live as I should
Give me the faith to believe
this amazing promise; that as a
brand new person, I do not have
to yield to sin. Hallelujah. Amen.
Lord, We want to find truth and
meaning & live purposeful lives.
But we are confused for the world
is full of lies and unholy agendas.
Help us focus & know U more as
we fill our hearts and minds with
Your words and spiritual songs. And
may our spirits be more sensitive
to Your voice and Your Will. Amen.
