Colossians 3:1-4
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Luke 1:37
For no word from God will ever fail. (NIV)
With God nothing shall be impossible. (KJV)
It is very easy to become flooded with emotion and concerns over “earthly” matters. After all, this is where we live, and where we have families and friends. At times our earthly concerns can feel like they eclipse everything But nothing eclipses the truth of God’s continual and eternal presence in our lives. I believe that God sends help and puts people into our paths to carry His love to us. This brings comfort, but also reminds us that we are, ultimately, His. We belong to God and will be with Him through eternity.
Holy Lord, Today I ask that you help me to sense your loving presence alongside me. Give me strength and hope, and please be with all those who need you today. Amen

Colossians 3:1-4/Luke 1:37
Yesterday, we heard the story of Sarah with the tag line that nothing is too hard for the Lord. In this morning’s verses, Luke conveys the same message and Paul reminds us the most effective way to tap
Into this power is to set our hearts and minds on things above. When all perceivable earthly solutions and “fixes” are exhausted and there is seemingly nothing left to do, we still have prayer and the faith to believe our prayers are heard.
Prayer - Lord, please hear my prayer for healing, peace and stability in troubled times for all who struggle with the forces of darkness that hold
such sway in this fallen world. Amen
