November 21 Scripture Meditations Based on Colossians 3-4
Key Verse – Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR SETTING MY AFFECTIONS ON YOU
Thank You for setting my affections on You from earthliness
Midst fiery hell’s awful destructiveness
Toward heavenly pursuits with salvation-blissfulness
For my soul’s redemptive fruitfulness.
Thank You for setting my affections on You from vanity
Midst dreary emptiness’ perilous futility
Toward meaningful vocation with honour-dignity
For my eternity’s worthy beauty.
Thank You for setting my affections on You from discontentment
Midst stressful frustrations’ oppressive discouragement
Toward satisfied sufficiency with provision-bestowment
For my spirituality’s fruitful fulfillment.
Thank You for setting my affections on You from transgression
Midst filthy defilement’s sinful intrusion
Toward holy goal with character-transformation
For my sanctification’s righteous function.
Thank You for setting my affections on You from fright
Midst horrible terror’s angry blight
Toward courageous testimony with supplication-might
For my serenity’s peaceful delight.
Thank You for setting my affections on You from arrogance
Midst worldly intellectualism’s haughty malfeasance
Toward humble surrender with meekness-temperance
For my submissiveness’ gentle vigilance.
Thank You for setting my affections on You from solitude
Midst hopeless loneliness’ bitter attitude
Toward joyful service with faith-fortitude
For my worship’s praise-filled gratitude.
