Speaker 2: You Life Audio thank you for listening to you. Or

14
00:01:27,531 --> 00:01:33,571
Speaker 2: Nightly Scripture a calming, scripture centered devotional podcast designed to

15
00:01:33,610 --> 00:01:36,531
Speaker 2: help you end each day with God's word in your

16
00:01:36,571 --> 00:01:41,731
Speaker 2: mind and on your art. Right after the short word

17
00:01:41,731 --> 00:01:56,211
Speaker 2: from our sponsors, will reflect on Tonight's scripture Colawsans, Chapter three.

18
00:01:56,491 --> 00:02:01,410
Speaker 2: Tonight's scripture reflection is written by Chelsea Demitteus and read

19
00:02:01,411 --> 00:02:08,530
Speaker 2: by Lea Gerard Colawsians, chapter three. Since then you've been

20
00:02:08,651 --> 00:02:11,690
Speaker 2: raised with Christ, Set your heart on things above where

21
00:02:11,771 --> 00:02:15,130
Speaker 2: Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set

22
00:02:15,171 --> 00:02:19,171
Speaker 2: your mind on things above, not on earthly things, for

23
00:02:19,370 --> 00:02:22,691
Speaker 2: you died and your life is now hidden with Christ

24
00:02:22,851 --> 00:02:27,331
Speaker 2: in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then

25
00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:32,051
Speaker 2: you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death. Therefore,

26
00:02:32,370 --> 00:02:38,171
Speaker 2: whatever belongs to your earthly nature sexual, immorality, impurity, life, lust,

27
00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:43,371
Speaker 2: evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these,

28
00:02:44,131 --> 00:02:47,731
Speaker 2: the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk

29
00:02:47,770 --> 00:02:50,731
Speaker 2: in these ways in the life you once lived, but

30
00:02:50,891 --> 00:02:55,571
Speaker 2: now you must also rich yourselves of all such things

31
00:02:55,571 --> 00:03:02,451
Speaker 2: as these anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from

32
00:03:02,490 --> 00:03:06,731
Speaker 2: your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you've

33
00:03:07,091 --> 00:03:09,650
Speaker 2: taken off your old self with its practices, and have

34
00:03:10,131 --> 00:03:12,971
Speaker 2: put on the new self, which is being renewed and

35
00:03:13,131 --> 00:03:17,611
Speaker 2: knowledge in the image of its creator. Here there is

36
00:03:17,651 --> 00:03:24,091
Speaker 2: no gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, Barbarian Scythian, slave

37
00:03:24,291 --> 00:03:31,651
Speaker 2: or free. But Christ is all and is in all. Therefore,

38
00:03:32,011 --> 00:03:37,331
Speaker 2: as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves

39
00:03:37,371 --> 00:03:46,051
Speaker 2: with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each

40
00:03:46,051 --> 00:03:49,051
Speaker 2: other and forgive one another. If any of you has

41
00:03:49,091 --> 00:03:53,451
Speaker 2: a grievance against someone, forgive us the Lord forgave you,

42
00:03:54,491 --> 00:04:00,011
Speaker 2: and over all these virtues, put on love, which binds

43
00:04:00,051 --> 00:04:05,091
Speaker 2: them altogether in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ

44
00:04:05,331 --> 00:04:09,371
Speaker 2: rule in your hearts, since as members of one body,

45
00:04:10,011 --> 00:04:13,851
Speaker 2: you were called to peace. Then be thankful. Let the

46
00:04:13,891 --> 00:04:17,330
Speaker 2: message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach

47
00:04:17,371 --> 00:04:22,531
Speaker 2: and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns

48
00:04:22,571 --> 00:04:26,131
Speaker 2: and songs from the Spirit, singing to God, with gratitude

49
00:04:26,171 --> 00:04:30,530
Speaker 2: in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word

50
00:04:31,010 --> 00:04:33,411
Speaker 2: or deed, do it all in the name of the

51
00:04:33,451 --> 00:04:40,411
Speaker 2: Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father him. Wives,

52
00:04:41,171 --> 00:04:45,570
Speaker 2: submit yourselves to your husbands as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands.

53
00:04:46,291 --> 00:04:49,931
Speaker 2: Love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children.

54
00:04:50,611 --> 00:04:54,971
Speaker 2: Obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers.

55
00:04:55,451 --> 00:05:00,931
Speaker 2: Do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged slaves.

56
00:05:00,931 --> 00:05:05,091
Speaker 2: Obey your earthly masters in everything, and do it not

57
00:05:05,130 --> 00:05:07,331
Speaker 2: only when their eye is on you and to curry

58
00:05:07,371 --> 00:05:11,091
Speaker 2: their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for

59
00:05:11,130 --> 00:05:15,731
Speaker 2: the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all

60
00:05:15,771 --> 00:05:20,931
Speaker 2: your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,

61
00:05:21,091 --> 00:05:24,371
Speaker 2: since you know that you will receive an inheritance from

62
00:05:24,411 --> 00:05:29,491
Speaker 2: the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ

63
00:05:29,611 --> 00:05:34,331
Speaker 2: you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid

64
00:05:34,331 --> 00:05:42,491
Speaker 2: for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism. In the

65
00:05:42,531 --> 00:05:46,611
Speaker 2: Gospels we see it presented many times. In Christ we

66
00:05:46,690 --> 00:05:49,411
Speaker 2: are set free and made new, or given a new

67
00:05:49,451 --> 00:05:53,291
Speaker 2: life and a new name, purchased by the blood of Christ,

68
00:05:53,811 --> 00:05:58,731
Speaker 2: child of God. In this new life, we're called to

69
00:05:58,851 --> 00:06:02,331
Speaker 2: now seek the things that are of God and find

70
00:06:02,411 --> 00:06:06,491
Speaker 2: where He is seated, which means you'll not find value

71
00:06:06,611 --> 00:06:10,051
Speaker 2: and satisfaction in the things of this world. We are

72
00:06:10,091 --> 00:06:14,251
Speaker 2: to turn away from what once enslaved us and live

73
00:06:14,251 --> 00:06:17,371
Speaker 2: in the glory of what God has redeemed with a

74
00:06:17,411 --> 00:06:23,251
Speaker 2: refreshed spirit in Jesus name. Colossians three reminds us that

75
00:06:23,291 --> 00:06:25,731
Speaker 2: as we put off the things that are not pleasing

76
00:06:25,771 --> 00:06:29,131
Speaker 2: to God and convict our spirit, we are to put

77
00:06:29,171 --> 00:06:34,531
Speaker 2: on love, knowing that it is His love now living

78
00:06:34,731 --> 00:06:39,491
Speaker 2: in us that binds everything together in perfect harmony. This

79
00:06:39,690 --> 00:06:44,411
Speaker 2: perfect harmony looks like the peace of Christ ruling and

80
00:06:44,491 --> 00:06:49,051
Speaker 2: reigning in our hearts. It's being thankful for the testimony

81
00:06:49,091 --> 00:06:54,611
Speaker 2: of His faithfulness in every season of our lives. We're

82
00:06:54,690 --> 00:06:57,411
Speaker 2: promised that if we allow it, the Word of God

83
00:06:57,451 --> 00:07:01,011
Speaker 2: will dwell in us, richly, teaching and admonishing us, and

84
00:07:01,051 --> 00:07:06,211
Speaker 2: being used to build up others. Wherever you find yourself

85
00:07:06,251 --> 00:07:09,611
Speaker 2: this evening, in a valley or a season of great joy,

86
00:07:09,971 --> 00:07:14,451
Speaker 2: keep clinging to Jesus, his word and his ways, Sing

87
00:07:14,491 --> 00:07:18,011
Speaker 2: his songs, rejoice in his small works in your life.

88
00:07:18,491 --> 00:07:21,731
Speaker 2: Do all things in the name of the Lord. For

89
00:07:21,851 --> 00:07:29,491
Speaker 2: the Lord Father. Would you cover me in your peace tonight?

90
00:07:30,011 --> 00:07:32,931
Speaker 2: Remind me to seek the things that are of you

91
00:07:33,731 --> 00:07:38,491
Speaker 2: and where you are. Keep my heart steady by your

92
00:07:38,531 --> 00:07:41,931
Speaker 2: word and set my feet on the path of your truth.

93
00:07:42,651 --> 00:07:45,571
Speaker 2: Bind my heart together in your love and rid me

94
00:07:45,691 --> 00:07:49,451
Speaker 2: of all unrighteousness. Convict me of what I need to

95
00:07:49,451 --> 00:07:53,051
Speaker 2: put off, and pour out a fresh flow of your

96
00:07:53,091 --> 00:08:01,491
Speaker 2: grace in Jesus name. Amen. How did Tonight's scripture speak
