Dad's Ramblings -- A Heavenly Mindset

A HEAVENLY MINDSET
Colossians 3:1-2
 
"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth."
 
It is easy to be distracted from a heavenly focus by the pleasures and pains of this world. The immediacy of earthly cares consume my energy and resources – mentally and materially. I do not deny the reality of this world. But there is a greater reality – eternal life in heaven where Christ is with the Father. Earthly joys and challenges cannot be compare to the glory that will be revealed to us in heaven (see Romans 8:18). My mind is set. I lift my eyes from this world to that which is above.
 
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Life on earth, with its joys and challenges, is real, but a mind set on heaven seeks those things which are above.
 
Have a heavenly day. Love you.
