Pursue Christ's agenda

"Instead of claiming to know what God says, ask questions of one another, such as ‘How do we understand God in this?’ But don’t go around pretending to know it all, saying ‘God told me this . . . God told me that. . . .’" ~ Jeremiah 23:35 (MSG)

So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. ~ Colossians 3:1 (MSG)

KEY IDEA:

As we live the resurrection life with Christ we will be pursuing the agenda that Christ is implementing.

PRAYER:

Risen Savior, I thank you for the new life that is mine because of the Easter event. Forgive me for pretending to know more about how that works out and what you are doing than I actually do. I treat my educated speculation as fact. Give me the humility to focus instead on living out your agenda. I don't need to be the know-it-all expert in all things spiritual. Give me the wisdom to keep my mouth closed. And please give me the wisdom to speak. I'm going to pursue your agenda over mine. Amen.
