What a beautiful day to watch the beautiful birds of Your creation, Father, flocking to the feeders outside my office window! May my eyes never tire of their beauty!
Colossians 3:1-4 (<<click here to read the passage)
“…set your sights on the realities of heaven…” v.1b
“Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10
“Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.” v.2
Lord, I have much in this world for which to be grateful – but in reality, all of it is temporal. In the blink of an eye, it could all be gone…or I could be gone. There is nothing here that is forever. Only what You are involved with is eternal. When I step free from the clutches of this world, nothing that I cling to here will be anything – it will all be as nothing. The only things that will remain are my relationships – my relationship with You (may it grow every day) and my relationship with others that are based on You! But even those relationships will be different – deeper, fuller, richer!
Help me to be a “man after your own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22) and in that frame of mind to be forever seeking to establish your kingdom here on earth. May I always strive to bring others into a closer relationship with You, Lord, so that they and I will be investing in what is truly worthy of our time and energies.
