Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1Â [Sunrise Pic April 3 2013]
Day 3 Where Is Your Heart Set?
In Colossians 3 apostle Paul describes what it means to be a resurrected person – “since you have been raised with Christ”. If Jesus is truly Lord of your life, you are now a different person, with a new identity and a new mission.
“… set your heart on things above”. Now you have a new focus and holy purpose. To do the will of God.
“where Christ is seated at the right hand of God” This is royalty imagery. It means Jesus has the highest authority. He is our advocate before the King of the Universe.
His agenda? “May Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”
Prayer:
I invite you to pray with me.
“God help me set my heart, my emotional energy, on things above. Show me Your heart’s desires and Your will. Make me an instrument of Your peace . Thank you that Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father, and He is making intercession for us to walk in the fullness of your purposes. Thank you Lord. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.â€

I invite you to join me on this journey from Easter to Pentecost.
