Poet's Corner Thursday: Seek Those Things Above

Seek Those Things Above


Seek those things above

Christ is in the heavenly realm

Think on spiritual things thereof

Don't let troubles overwhelm


For the spiritual have great affection

Put the earthly aside

With your Heavenly Father make the connection

Follow His Word and guide


Your life is hid with Christ

Out of His love and grace

He paid a high price

Keep your eyes on Him in this faith race


Christ is our life

Christ is our all

He lifts us to new heights

Let the treasures of heaven enthrall


Put to death the evil deeds

On the spiritual build up

Of the kingdom, sow the seed

Take part in the Communion bread and cup


Put on the new

Cast aside the old

To Him stay true

Reach for grace untold


All in Christ are free

All in Him on His mercy stand

Love is the key

As we seek the heavenly land


Put on mercy, kindness

Meekness, patience, humility

These give spiritual stability

Save from spiritual blindness


Forbear with everyone

Forgive often for we all do err

Be right and fair

Imitate the gracious Son


Bind all of this

With love, the strongest force

God is it's source

In seeking Him, taste now the hallowed bliss


And now be thankful; ruled by God's peace

All quarrels should now cease

Into one body we are all called

His grace, forever, into our hearts installed


Seek those things above

Christ is in the heavenly realm

Think on spiritual things thereof

Don't let troubles overwhelm


Based on Colossians 3:1-15

Gospel Wednesday: Romans Chapter 10: Confess Him

Image
Romans Chapter 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
