WE DIED?

 

Colossians 3:3

 

"For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." ESV 

 

Having died to sin and been made alive in Christ, we are dead to the world and its' temptations. We spend so much time asking why things are happening and why we can't seem to overcome the trials in our lives. All we have to do is seek the Lord. If we seek Him we will find Him. If we find Him, we will find ourselves because we are hidden with Him.

 

 

Lord, forgive us for looking at earthly things, those things to which we are dead. Help us to keep on our eyes on the eternal things, for there we are overcomers and our lives are hidden with You. In Your name we pray, Amen.

LOVE A GOOD MYSTERY?

 

 

Colossians 2:3

 

"In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." ESV 

 

The mysteries of God are so intriguing. We spend a lot of time studying and praying that these mysteries will be revealed to us. The news is, God's mysteries have already been revealed to us. They are all contained in Jesus Christ. God has placed ALL of His wisdom and knowledge in His Son. If we seek the Son, we will find Him. He will reveal His wonderful mysteries to us as we walk along with Him.

 

Lord, thank You for making the way for us to know the fullness of Your wisdom and knowledge. Help us to seek You with our whole hearts so that we know You and receive mysteries You reveal to us. In Your name we pray, Amen.

MY MOTIVES ARE IN THE SPOTLIGHT

 

1 Corinthians 4:5

 

"Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive his commendation from God." ESV 

 

We all have reasons why we do things. Sometimes our motives are honorable and Godly. However, at other times, we have our own agenda. We want to look good in from of others. We seek favor from someone or desire personal gain. Aren't we always so quick to judge someone else's motives, but we feel justified in our own. The truth is, whatever our motive is, God will expose it for what it is. Some of us will stand embarrassed and ashamed, while others of us will be honored by our God.

 

Heavenly Father, we humbly ask that You will help us to search ourselves and truly know our motives before we speak or act. If our motives are displeasing to You, we ask that You reveal it to us so that we can align ourselves with Your heart and have no reason to be ashamed. In Jesus' name, Amen.

GOD'S EYES ARE ON YOU

 

 

Hebrews 4:13

"And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account." ESV

Every person will have to give an account to the living God, both those who believe and those who don't. All actions, thoughts, and secrets are intimately know by Him. Doesn't it seem like a wise thing to make sure all our actions, thoughts, and secrets are brought to Him and covered by His blood?

Heavenly Father, search our innermost being and whatever You find there that is displeasing to You, help us to confess it, repent, and live our lives as Christ did. We pray in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
