This is a daily choice to look up and seek after the Lord our savior
Jesus Christ and trusting and loving him with all our spirit, soul, body, and mind.
I pray blessings of of salvation, love, hope, joy, peace and his arms wrapped around each and everyone of you.
1”If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.”
Colossians 3:1-2
Dear Friend,
What should you be thinking about today? Colossians 3:1-2 says:
1“If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.”
2 “Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.”
Isn’t this a great verse!
It answers the question of what you want in life.
To have what you really want, you need to set your mind on the things above.
Do you want peace in your life?
Then focus on Christ.
Do want patience?
Then set your mind on the Patient One.
Do you want joy in your life?
Then keep seeking the things above.
Do you want meaning and purpose to your life?
Then seek those things that are on Christ’s heart.
Whenever I find there is a lack of contentment, peace, patience, joy, purpose, or meaning in my life, it is always because I have “set my mind” on the things that are on earth and not on the things that are above.
What is your state of mind today?
What are you focusing on?
Is it the things above or the things on earth?
The choice is yours.
It is right there in front of our eyes!
Here’s for having a week of looking up!
Pastor Mark
