Colossians 3:1-4

Good Morning,
The sun is shining and the day is crisp. I trust you are all well.
Do the every day worries, trials and tests get you down? Do you find yourself thinking about "life" more than you think about the Lord? Today's scripture speaks to that quite clearly. So, please read Colossians 3:1-4 and then join me....
I like the thought that Christ, who has been raised from the dead is sitting at God's right hand. I see Him, sitting in all His majesty and that thought comforts me greatly. He "see's" everything in the world; nothing escapes His knowledge.
When we are told to set our hearts on things above, that means to make it your hearts central focus. We have daily things to take care of, but we can't let those things take precedence over the things of God-His Word, service and praise. We must put Him first in all things, especially before decisions that affect our lives. When we're told to set our minds on things above, it goes hand in hand with our hearts; the two are entwined.
We went to the cross with Christ, therefore we "died" and He took us with Him, tucking us under His wing as He carried us to God, free, forgiven and saved. We no longer belong to the world. Being hidden in Christ means security and satisfaction.
In verse 4 we are told we will "appear with Him in glory". 1 Thess. 4:13-18 tells us that He will come to take His people home. When He does, we shall enter eternal glory with Him.
Isn't that comforting? We know that life is a trial, with much suffering, but one day that will end and we will enter into glory with Him. Won't that be 'glory'?

Waiting for that glorious day,
Sandy
