Colossians 2:20-3:4

First reading: pay attention to text as if reading for the first time.

Second reading: listen for words and phrases that seem to resonate with you. Make a note of these bright spots as you meditate on them.

things that perish as they are used

no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh
your life is hidden with Christ in God
Christ who is your life

Third reading: Become aware of your emotional response to what you have noted. Contemplate what are you feeling.


Definitely distracted by the things that need to be done today

feeling nervous that something's going to go wrong
frustrated by the things that aren't going the way I want them to

Fourth reading: Reflect upon what God is saying to you through this text. What is God’s invitation to you today?


"Seek the things that are above, where Christ is..."
