"Seek and Set"

“Seek and Set”

Blessings folk!

Yesterday we saw how we, The Chosen, are to behave.

Col 3:12-13
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.


That first word, “so”.
What does it mean?
In conclusion.
In light of.
Therefore.
It refers to what was previously said.

So, LOL, let us look back…

Col 3:1-2
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
.


Therefore?
In conclusion of what had been mentioned in chapters 1-2…we will not go there now.

We see that if we have been raised up with Christ, if we are saved, then we are to do two things.

  1. We are to keep seeking the things above…where Christ is…seated at the right hand of God. We are to seek the things of the Lord, the things of heaven.

  1. We are to set our minds on the things above, not on the things of the earth. Our mind is to be the mind of the Lord. We are not to be distracted and focused upon the things on earth. We are to seek the mind of the Lord in all things. Yes, all things.

What is the mind of the Lord?
Ask Him.
Seek Him.
Set your mind upon Him and the things above.
Be not distracted nor dismayed by the things below.
Such is the pattern and practice of The Chosen.
