RESTART YOUR MIND! – Colossians 3:2-3 Devotional

RESTART YOUR MIND!

Colossians 3:2-3 – Devotional

Colossians 3:2-3​

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”

Do you sometimes have a hard time keeping things straight? The thing you want to do next is shoved aside because something else suddenly came up that seemed more important or demanding.

It seems that the more labor saving devices that are introduced to us the more pressed we are for time. It would seem that most people are operating on over-load and it is close to power failure.

When it comes to my computer I feel far beyond my personal capability. I seem to be calling people on a regular basis to assist me when I encounter problems.

Many times my experts advise me to restart the computer. It is amazing how many problems are resolved by a restart. If you need a closer walk with the Lord try a restart of devotion and purpose to be closer to Him.

A good place to start may be our daily Bible reading plan that we have at the bottom of each DailyEvotional. Commit to reading God’s Word on a regular basis and join us.

Blessings dear hearts!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

BREATHE ON ME AGAIN​! – 2 Corinthians 3:18 Devotional

by | Aug 21, 2026 | 2 Corinthians

BREATHE ON ME AGAIN​​!

2 Corinthians 3:18 – Devotional

2 Corinthians 3:18​

“So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.”

This week we have a special new song for you created by Russ Hansen entitled, “Breathe On Me Again.” He’d appreciate your feedback on this song–please send it to him at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

Breathe on Me Again (inspired by 2 Corinthians 3:18)

[Verse]
Spirit of the living God,
Come and move in my life.
Fill my heart with heaven’s fire,
Be my one consuming desire.
Shape my life to honor You,
Make me faithful, make me true.
Every thought and every breath,
Lead me in Your holiness.

[Chorus]
Breathe on me again, Holy Spirit, come.
Fill this willing heart until Your work is done.
Mold me by Your grace, change me from within.
Jesus, make me more like You —
Breathe on me again.

[Bridge]
Break what’s hard within my heart.
Make me who You say I am.
Wash me in Your truth each day;
Lead me in Your perfect way.
Let Your living water flow,
Till a watching world will know
Christ is Lord of everything —
Holy Spirit, reign in me.

[Final Chorus]
Breathe on me again, Holy Spirit, come.
Fill this willing heart until Your work is done.
Mold me by Your grace, change me from within.
Jesus, make me more like You —
Breathe on me again.

[Tag]
Come and dwell within my soul.
Holy Spirit, take control.
Breathe on me again.
Breathe on me again.

Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

TO HIM! – Ephesians 3:20-21 Devotional

by | Aug 20, 2026 | Ephesians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

TO HIM!

Ephesians 3:20-21 – Devotional

Ephesians 3:20-21

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

I have two cousins who are expert marksmen. In speaking to one of them I discovered that each of us has a dominant eye that may not be the same as whether we are left or right handed. For example, both cousins are right handed, but shoot by sighting with their left eye.

The Bible repeatedly calls us to look to Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith. In today’s Scripture Paul admonishes his readers to focus their attention TO HIM. That means making the rational decision to take careful aim at the target of our faith.

In a world that is increasingly cluttered with things that draw our attention away from the spiritual realm, it is vital that we stop and take careful aim at the things that will matter for eternity. We know that the things of this world grow strangely dim as we focus on His glory and grace.

What are you aiming at? If you have no target in mind, you will find yourself lost in the frustrating confusion of life. If you direct your attention TO HIM, you will find that He is worthy of all of your efforts. TO HIM!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
