“ If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.” Colossians 3:1 (ESV)

We are thankful for the new life which God has promised and given us when we put our faith in His Son Jesus Christ. We are still living on earth in our human existence and can be attracted to things which are fleshly and not of God. But our hearts can be occupied with truths of heavenly and spiritual value. We can think of Jesus dying on the cross for us but then we realize that He is still doing something of eternal value for us as He is at God's right hand praying for us. Yes, we can pray to God in the name of Jesus and God will hear our prayer and will help us each day. It is very important that we keep these spiritual facts in mind every day. We can be and are tempered to seek things of this world for our fleshly pleasure filling our minds with earthly things but we also have reason and cause to seek the things which are above with Christ and fill our minds with things that come from God. Our promise is that Christ is seated above at God's right hand and advocating for us.
