Wednesday in the Word

Are there idols in our own lives that we need to rid ourselves of? May we then remember this: "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." Colossians 3:1-2

By now, most graduations have taken place and these students are now preparing for the next chapter in their lives. I remember being in that position of taking on the daunting task of "planning the rest of my life."

Our family has entered into this season of having a newborn baby again. Truly a gift from God and an answer to prayer!

However, many times I found myself not wanting to become a "shameless disturbance" (vs 8) to God. Especially when it came to issues or circumstances that I thought I could certainly handle myself.

However, we are reminded in the book of Esther that God is still seated on the throne. As He provided divine guidance and protective foresight for His people then, He is still doing so now in our world, in our country, and in our lives.
