Hey, I am so excited to talk to you this morning on this morning mindset edition because of what we're going to be talking about.

There are some cool ideas we're going to read from Colosians chapter 3 today.

We're going to be in verse 17.

So if you want to grab a Bible or open up your Bible app,

whatever you have, I want you to read this.

I want you to see it and not just hear it from me. Now let me make a

caveat there. If you're driving, if you're on the treadmill, don't try to do

this while you're doing those kinds of activities, all right? but the idea is I want this to

penetrate you in as many ways as possible either by hearing it which you're gonna

do as you hear it on this morning mindset but I I also want you to see it. I mean if you could taste it I would want you to taste it because every way we can get our senses involved in appropriating the truth of God causes us to appropriate it more deeply.

Okay, so I'm asking you today, if possible, can you see this? Can you look at it on your Bible

app? Can you turn the pages of an actual Bible and look at this for yourself as we talk

about it. This is Colossians chapter 3 verse 17 and Paul the apostle has been

inspired by God to tell us a lot of things that flow out of the truth

that we have a new identity in Christ as his holy ones, as his chosen ones, as his beloved

ones.

Okay, and he's saying there's all these things that flow out of us that we need to be

mindful of and watch for as the spirit prompts them in us.

And here right at the end of this section of Colaitions chapter 3, he gives us kind of an overarching statement.

He says, and whatever you do, whatever you do in word or indeed. So you get that whatever you do, whether you speak it or

or there's something you actually do. Here's his instruction, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God the Father through him.
