An email this morning from RNS contained an article I eagerly clicked on for the latest news regarding an issue that I’ve been following for a few years now. After reading it, I shared it with a couple friends and one of them responded immediately. Although I fully support the decision made and the actions that followed, my heart still hurt for the loss.

I opened the next email from Our Daily Bread and was sent to Colossians 2:6-14. I read through the suggested Scriptures under the heading Alive In Christ and soon realized I was still hungry. I continued on through the entire chapter and started chapter 3. Put On the New Self.

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. – Colossians 3:1

My eyes continued on and I was instructed to “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you” and read through the Instructions that followed telling me what those earthly things were. I saw a couple things I have “put to death”, and I saw a couple I need to work harder on.

Rule 39 quickly came to my mind when I considered the first email I read containing the latest news, and then the second one containing Scripture. The fact I needed to read on after finishing the selected verses is where I found the reason my eyes needed more. The proverbial icing on the cake was in Colossians 3:5-8.

On account of these the wrath of God is coming. -v6
