Absorbing
Colossians 3:16, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
Today is another awesome day; can’t you feel it? Have you read your Bible so His words will echo through today? Have you read the paper with all the headlines or stories today? Maybe you’ve checked your emails after waking; just to see if anything important was sent your way. Most assuredly someone has checked their media pages; Facebook, TikTok, etc. We just never know what we are absorbing into our minds at any given moment. Finding out information; whether its actually intellect or gibberish, somehow gives us more advantages to getting through the days. We learn something new every day; whether it is something simple, history making, or maybe just remembering being taught something. Absorbing is what our minds are for. We must get information to complete any task. Our jobs require absorbing knowledge about that career to enable us to work at our best. Most people love getting firsthand information from people who already have experience in whatever task they have accomplished. If someone cooks, you like to know how they did it. If someone downloaded an app, you want to know if it works and is it really helpful. While all the things this world offers are easily absorbed, let’s be sure we give our main priority to what God offers in His word. Don’t lose focus on the lessons and experiences of all those God chose in the Bible to go “therefore and teach all nations…teaching them to observe all things” Matthew 28:19-20! Life’s biggest absorption is what God teaches and what He promises, along with how He is going with you all the way; through every day! Are you allowing God to fill your mind with the information that will lead you to be all He has planned you to be? Start absorbing His word and see the paths leading to eternity!

Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank you for another day. Thank you for providing a book with all the words that can lift me up through life’s journey. Help me to absorb information that will lead me to know you are in control and by following you the journey will be an experience of lessons learned, faith gained, trust absorbed. Bless us oh Lord to absorb only the things that will bring praise to you. Amen.
