God’s Truth for Trying Times - 6/10/20

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: Colossians 3:23-24

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”
‭ (Colossians‬ ‭3:23-24‬)

CONSIDER: The inheritance we are promised in Christ is eternal life. Abundant, rich, full, free life in Christ forever, in the blessed presence of our holy God. So when we serve in our different roles and responsibilities here on earth, we are actually serving Jesus Christ. If our eternity is covered, everything in this temporal life is too.

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.
