Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Colossians 3:1, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.”
This verse leads us all upward to the throne, where Christ has been seated at the right hand and where God’s government and His administration and His economy are operating this very moment to consummate this age–human history as we know it–and to bring in the next age with our Lord’s appearing and His kingdom for a thousand years over this old earth.
And then the kingdom becomes the doorstep into the holy city, New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from God as His habitation for eternity.
From the throne, there is present administration in this universe.
This throne is far above every power, every principality, every demonic rule, all the evil spirits, all the Satanic activity.
There is a throne far above all.
And if I am a wise person, with a spirit of wisdom and revelation, I will want to be under that throne and around that throne and to live my moments in the light of that throne.
Because the throne of God is what is controlling the whole universe this moment, we need to know what is happening at the throne (see the book of Revelation).
We need to know the activity around the throne.
Let us go to the top, the highest place in the universe.
Let us find out what is happening at the throne.
If we know what is happening there, we will surely come under the full knowledge of God.
The full knowledge of God can be learned, can be seen, by being around the activity of the throne.
In Colossians 3:1 Paul points us to Christ at the right hand of God.
Then in verse 2 he says, “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Have you ever considered coming out of the stream of traffic on this earth–your life, your plan, your goals, your desires?
Stop yourself.
Let someone tap you on the shoulder and say, “Come on up and let me show you what is really happening in this universe–what the activity is around the throne” (cf. Rev. 4:1-2).
What are they talking about around the throne?
Are there any purposes unveiled in their talk?
Can we know?
We can.
There is an unveiling of the throne.
God did not leave us wondering what we are living for.
He wants us to stop ourselves and to take time to set our mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
He wants us to be controlled not by human thought, human interpretation, philosophy, or speculation, but by revelation and an absolute opening of His heart.
Until Tomorrow,
With a Shepherd’s Love
Pastor
