Bible Study Verse

Colossians 3:1  

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. (NKJV)

Thoughts

From the USN carrier Yorktown's flight deck, we descended into the first hanger bay. I was stunned to be looking at the exact airplane that Dad flew in during WW II, an SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber! 

He was radioman-gunner. His seat and the twin 30-caliber machine guns were 10 feet  from me! Dad flew patrols on the US coast, looking for German subs. 

(Fred B) 

Action Point

Christ is seated higher, at His Father's right hand in Heaven. We are also seated higher, He raised us up together and made us sit together in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Read Ephesians 2:6.  

We need to quit living low, Earthly, and live high and tight, Godly, with our Savior every day. He has put us in a seat beside Him, far above all principality, power, might and dominion. Read Ephesians 1:21. It's a royal skybox! 

Don't live like you're sitting in the cheap seats. A Prince is sitting beside you, He is your King!!!

Sportsmen's Tip of the Day

We can bless US veterans by supporting organizations that honor and help them. Wounded Warriors is one of those. Christian Bow Hunters of America, God's Great Outdoors,  and other local Christian men's groups sponsor hunting and fishing trips for vets also. Or guide some vets on a trip of your own.
