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.
