Colossians 3:12
As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
What of Today’s Verse…
"Wonder what I’ll need to wear to that meeting?" Paul reminds us that there is a set of clothing that is always in style. We wear this clothing because we are special. This clothing is from the Ultimate Designer’s collection called character and is best worn when with other people. These qualities are hard to wear, but always a blessing to those who meet us when we’re decked out in this wardrobe.
Let us Pray:
Abba Father, thank you for bringing me into your family. May I never disappoint you in the way I treat others. May they see in me the qualities of character that can only be attributed to your presence in my life. To you be the glory and the honour, forever and ever, through Jesus my Lord. Amen.

Direction and movement…
Any desired destination can be reached by maintaining the appropriate direction and movement. When you drive your car, you control direction with the steering wheel. Movement is supplied by the fuel and the engine.
When pursuing a goal in your life, your expectations controlled direction and your actions supplied movement. While your expectations are focused in the appropriate direction, and to the degree that your actions support those expectations, you’ll achieve what you set out to achieve.
The great thing is that you can choose your expectations, and you can control your actions. Those who do so thoughtfully and persistently end up going precisely where they desire to go.
Every moment of every life has direction and movement. What is yours like? Is it random, drifting, or even reckless? Or is it bringing you steadily toward where you wish to be? You’re at the wheel. You control the accelerator. You might as well drive yourself somewhere great.
