Therefore, if you have been raised up with Messiah, keep seeking the things above—where Messiah is, sitting at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1, TLV
Keep Seeking the Things Above. Did you catch that? Jesus sits at the right hand of His Father. There He intercedes — He prays on our behalf to His Father (Hebrews 7:25).
So what can we seek? We are able to seek the most incredible of desires — the desires of GOD. Things of a higher perspective — with a higher calling — to do the will of GOD.
We seek to know our Heavenly Father like His Son knows Him. And, we seek to follow Yeshua [Jesus] and learn His ways.
Learning to love unconditionally.
To forgive as our Father has forgiven us.
What is important to the Father was important to His Son, so it is important to us, as His redeemed children.
How do we know what to seek, learn, and do?
We read and learn and live the Bible. It is as simple and as difficult as that.
Today, we can begin with reading His love letters to us — the Bible. Learn from the Creator of the Universe how to live in this world through His Scriptures. A great way to begin? Read a chapter of Proverbs for wisdom, a chapter of Psalms to connect deeper with our Dad, and pick anywhere else like Matthew to learn of GOD’s love for the world and how to live in it.
Let’s seek the “higher” things today by loving, forgiving, hoping, laughing with those who laugh, comforting those who mourn, and sharing the greatest love in all the universe.
