?️Lyrics
When you speak, confusion fades
Just a word and suddenly I’m not afraid
Cause you speak and freedom reigns
There is hope in every single word You say
I don’t wanna miss one word You speak
Cause everything You say is life to me
I don’t wanna miss one word You speak
Quiet my heart,
I’m listening When sorrows roll and troubles rage
You whisper peace when I don’t have the words to say
I won’t lose hope when storms won’t break
You keep your word and your promises will keep me safe
Your ways are higher
You know just what I need
I trust you, Jesus
You see what I cannot see
Colossians 3:1–4 (KJV)
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Col 3.
Our desire
Colossians 3:2a(KJV)—Set your affection on things above. This deals with the mindset of the believer, including the will, affections, and conscience. Paul knew many whose hearts were set toward things that could never satisfy. They sought to please the lusts of the flesh. Their focus was upon the here and now, with little or no thought for eternity. Much of this left them empty and vain. Worldly desires led to a life void of peace and contentment. Paul also knew the believer did not have to live in such poverty. There was much to be gained in Christ. He is to be the desire and passion of the believer. The world offers nothing of lasting value, with much that it does resulting in heartache and pain. With Jesus, and those things which are above and eternal, as our desire, we can enjoy the fullness of God and His abundance rather than settling for the meager supply offered by the world!

Final thought
A reminder that God is for us, God is with us, and God is bigger than anything we face, apart from God I have no good thing.

We all need a reminder that God is in control and all we have to do is lean on Him.
God is forever faithful. God speaks through his word to Me.
