daily reading 42.5 (Colossians 3:3–4)

5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024


Our opening prayer for this week:

    Abide, O dearest Jesus, Among us with your grace
    That Satan may not harm us, Nor we to sin give place.

    Abide, O dear Redeemer, Among us with your Word.
    And thus now and hereafter True peace and joy afford.

    Abide with heavenly brightness Among us, precious Light;
    Your truth direct and keep us From error’s gloomy night.

    Abide with richest blessings Among us, bounteous Lord;
    Let us in grace and wisdom Grow daily through your Word.

    Abide with your protection Among us, Lord, our Strength,
    Lest world and Satan fell us And overcome at length.

    Abide, O faithful Savior, Among us with your love;
    Grant steadfastness and help us To reach our home above. Amen.

Colossians 3:3–4

  • For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
  • 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
helpful notes on Colossians 3:3–4




For yourself pray

  • That when Christ, your life, appears, you will also appear with him in glory

For others pray

  • That God uses your congregation to baptize more people and bring them to Christ

A song to listen to and ponder, as time allows

  • Psalm 132 (YouTube, duet, "Arise, O Lord, and go")
