1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

(Colossians 3:1-4, ESV)

Perfection ~ Family Prayer-5

Sometimes in our dismay about imperfection, it can cause us to drift from our perfection which is found in Jesus Christ. God bless ya.

“Allow life’s imperfections to become what the were always meant to be-everyday signs that point you to Jesus. Use them as your cues that encourage you to look up from the annoyances of earthly life and see Him. The one ONE who truly satisfies. “ Priscilla Shirer Don’t Be Distracted By Imperfection I pray for my family, that we won’t get caught up, and be distracted by all things earthy, that…

“Keeping In Step with Christ” This 1-minute devotion explains why Christ told us to take His YOKE and 4 ways we can make sure we're doing it:

We always get out of step when we try to bear our own burdens, solve our own problems, and operate in our own power.

We need a yoke* that connects us with Christ so we can move in step with Him:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Yoked to Christ, we walk where He walks:

1. Dwelling on His Word:

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly” (Colossians 3:16a).

2. Rejecting popular worldly philosophies:

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:8).

3. Following His purposes:

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

4. Walking in His power and strength:

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

Jesus says, "Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be" (John 12:26).

Best of all, when we move in step with Christ, we find rest for our souls.

-----------------

*Yoke: "zygós – properly, a yoke; a wooden bar placed over the neck of a pair of animals so they can pull together; (figuratively) what unites (joins) two people to move (work) together as one."

For a deeper understanding of taking Christ's yoke:

•Which yoke

•Yoked but unburdened

•Learn from Him

•Jesus invites us to come take and learn

•Come

(All Bible verses in the NIV.)

Holiness Appeared Sweet

by Jonathan Edwards

The imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God — 1 Peter 3:4

In order to present you before him holy and blameless and beyond reproach — Colossians 1:22

Holiness appeared to me to be of a sweet, pleasant, charming, serene, calm nature. It seemed to me it brought an inexpressible purity, brightness, peacefulness, and ravishment to the soul; and that it made the soul like a field or garden of God, with all manner of pleasant flowers, that is all pleasant, delightful, and undisturbed; enjoying a sweet calm, and the gently vivifying beams of the sun. The soul of a true Christian appeared like such a little white flower, as we see in the spring of the year, low and humble on the ground, opening its bosom to receive the pleasant beams of the sun’s glory, rejoicing, as it were, in a calm rapture; diffusing around a sweet fragrancy; standing peacefully and lovingly in the midst of other flowers round about, all in like manner opening their bosoms to drink in the light of the sun.

Thy sinless mind in us reveal, Thy spirit’s plenitude impart! Till all my spotless life shall tell The abundance of a loving heart. — Charles Wesley

Vigilantly seeking the things that are above

Today we will be looking at the topic of vigilance. When we vigilantly “seek the things that are above,” we are not only looking forward to a heavenly eternity, but we should be finding ways to enact heavenly principles in the here and now, incorporating our new, spiritual kingdom life into the life we are living now. The apostle Paul stated it this way: Colossians 3:1-3 – If then you were…

"Why can't I?" is the wrong question

“Why can’t I?” is the wrong question, sisters. As Christian women, it’s important that we ask the correct theological questions. Sadly, many of us don’t. Too many women define their Christianity by the culture rather than the fullness of Scripture. But to do so makes us become unfruitful because we have become unfaithful. Elisabeth Elliot once said that the fact that she was a woman didn’t make…

How to Start a Conversation Poorly

Pointless Words Questioner: “What do you believe about climate change?” “What do you think about global warming?” “Where do you stand on EV cars?” Answer: “I believe the earth is warming. I am leery of saying much more.” Questioner: “Why?” Good question. Upon reflection, here’s my answer. The reason I am leery is because if you don’t give the answer that one side of the political spectrum or…

Revelation 3: Laodicea

Everything needed to understand what Jesus was saying to the assembly in Laodicea is embedded in this post, but it needs a sleuth to work it all out. #Laodicea #Revelation# #Lukewarm
