God’s Truth for Trying Times - 5/9/20

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. 3:1-4

“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. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” (Colossians‬ ‭3:1-4)

CONSIDER: Verse four says that Christ is our life. And that He is going to appear. And that Christians will appear with Him in glory. Those are three amazing truths. Christ is our life, our new identity, our savior, leader; the source and sustainer of our eternal life. He has promised to return and to take us to be with Him where He is.

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.
