Light for My Path Daily Devotion
Bible Reading
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4 ESV)
Hymn ELH 446:1,8 What Is the World to Me
What is the world to me
With all its vaunted pleasure
When Thou, and Thou alone,
Lord Jesus, art my Treasure!
Thou only, dearest Lord,
My soul’s Delight shalt be;
Thou art my Peace, my Rest.
What is the world to me!
What is the world to me!
My Jesus is my Treasure,
My Life, my Health, my Wealth,
My Friend, my Love, my Pleasure,
My Joy, my Crown, my All,
My Bliss eternally.
Once more, then, I declare:
What is the world to me!
Prayer
Jesus, my Savior, help me to focus on things spiritual instead of earthly. Give me great joy in knowing and believing that You will return for me to take me to my true home in Heaven. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
