Colossians 3:1-4

Today we celebrate the entry of our Lord into Jerusalem. He rode in presenting Himself to Israel just as the lamb is brought before the people before the sacrifice. I suggest reading the story of the triumphal entry and thinking about how it applies to your life.

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

Colossians 3:1-4

What are you seeking in this world my friend? And where do your thoughts remain? They say your heart is where your money is. Your mind is also where your heart can be found. Our Lord examines each heart and knows the ones which are seeking after Him. It’s so easy in this world to get caught up in earthly things and ideas. But we must remember all of that is part of the old life that was lived before Christ.

Spend some time just thinking about what you are doing with your time and your life. None of us have truly been promised a tomorrow, but we all live like we can put everything off until then. The Lord wants us to think in the now and focus on how we can live. Pray for wisdom and seek to find out what He is doing now, and how he wants you to serve Him in the present.

All of our walks will be revealed someday when Christ returns in His glory. Your prayers, your service, your relationship will all be made known. Our minds focus should be on building up the glory of the Lord, not searching for earthly glory. When we seek Him first above all things, we will find life. The old is dead and buried with Him, the new life we have is with Christ in God.
