Colossians 3:1-4 

Exhortations to Seek the Things Above

3 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is,

seated at the right hand of God. 2 Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth, 

3 for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 

4 When Christ (who is your life) appears, then you too will be revealed in Glory with Him.

 

When I sin, is it me who sins ... the “me,” who is flesh and blood?

Do I have power now ... to set it where I want too?

I think here is the key ... where I myself set goals

I can direct up to degree ... the way I live or ought too.

 

I can arrange desire here ... or at least can be involved

to align my priorities ... and move in deep resolve.

It takes the power of God I know ... as Christ is next to Him

and I am hidden in Christ ...  and so His strength just evolves.

 

His life appears every moment ... through the Holy Spirit

Who spends and invests His time in my presence.

All I have to do ... is to listen and inherit

as His power will lead me ... into His Glorious essence.

 

So my spirit hidden in Christ ... is always communicating

and should have enough influence to convict my mind per say.

To step out of The Way ... and be renewed in verbatim

for Jesus is the Only Way to survive ... the onslaught of the day.

 

Hidden with Christ in Glory is my present state of the spirit.

Not my flesh I assure you ... and not my soul for sure.

They will go to dust ... that is all they inherit,

as later I’ll be glorified ... in His Presence to be pure.
