OUR FOCAL POINT

 
Colossians 3:2,3


"Set you minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." NIV


"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." KJV


When we live in the material world, it is naturally human to allow the things of this material world to distract us, discourage us, or even tempt us. The Lord knows this about us. That is why He has charged us with the responsibility to mindfully keep our focus on Him and the eternal things of God. Yes, it is difficult, but we have the Holy Spirit within us to remind us that we have gotten our eyes of our God and have allowed the things of this world to capture our hearts and minds.


Heavenly Father, we give You praise that You know us intimately and the world we live in that comes at us from every side. Help us to be open to the Holy Spirit so that we can refocus our hearts and minds on You and Your kingdom. Let us remember that we are hidden in You and this world cannot control us or harm us. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
