God’s Truth for Trying Times - 5/8/20

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

READ: Col. 3:1-3

“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (Colossians‬ ‭3:1-3‬)

CONSIDER: The reason we are to set our minds on the things above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God, is because He is in the place of ultimate authority, and His Word is our ultimate authority. We have died to our old life, we have new life in Christ. And our life is hidden with Christ in God, protected, kept secure forever.

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?

PRAY:‬‬ Pray these verses to God as a prayer. Pour out your heart in praise to God. Pray for others. Present needs to Him.
