Colossians 3:2 (NKJV) 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
Life here on earth can surely consume us if we’re not careful.
As humans, our emotions can run the show if we let them. They tell us how to feel, how to interact with others, what to do and when to do it.
This can cause all kinds of things to happen in our lives that don’t need to happen. This might even cause us to go through unnecessary trials.
God wants us to set our minds on the things above, not on things here on earth. This might seem like a pretty tall order at first. After all, we do live here on earth, so how are we supposed to keep our minds on things above?
We learn to live and walk by the Spirit!
Galatians 5:16 (NKJV) 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
This doesn’t mean that we simply abandon everything and everyone here on earth. It means that we put God first in everything, learning to listen for His spirit to guide us and show us what’s truly important and what’s not.
It means that we learn to discern things by His spirit. We learn to see things through His eyes.
And it means that we don’t let the things of this world capture our hearts, pulling us away from God.
Remember, we don’t live only by what we see!
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
