I am presently preparing a message based on Colossians 3. What an amazing chapter!
I noticed many contrasts that are used not to mention the exhortations given in living a life worthy of our calling in Christ. I also love how Paul says that we are chosen of God, beloved and holy!
As I pondered these things throughout today, I felt such a closeness with God. He reminded me of better ways of doing things. For example, I found a fabric store that was closer to my house, so I didn't have to ride all the way towards downtown Taipei. (I still hope to go down to the textile district as I love 'window shopping' for fabric.) Then the lady at the fabric store gave me a velcro strip and instead of taking it to this one particular shop to get it sewn on to my running belt, He led me to a shop that was right near my house. These are just two examples as there were so many other similar things that happened today.
So, I sit here, praising Him for He is worthy. I am reminded that in all that I do each day, I am to do it for the Lord. That's the best way to live. I have an audience of ONE. There is so much more to say about Col. 3, but I close with this quote from Corrie Ten Boom --
Seek Him First!
