Today's Passage: Colossians 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.

Today's Prayer: 

Father for some reason you’ve called us into a relationship with You.

You want us to be with You, where You are, and about what You are about.

Your eternal decree is too marvelous to comprehend.

Yet, you’ve also placed us at Your table to be not only servants but also friends.

Here, we are protected and fully alive.

Help us today to reflect on the things you are about.

Your word says in Philippians 4:8 to think on eight things: whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and anything worthy of praise.

Lord, as we are not guaranteed tomorrow, will you help us today to hide in the shadow of Your wings—free to be with You and about Your Kingdom.
