Daily Scripture: Where do you have your mind set?


We as humans get so caught up in things of this earth, what's the latest trend in fashion, social scene, the world.  Who's the biggest celebrity at this time?  What can I do to be successful on earth?  Who doesn't get along with this person, and so on and so on...  But the Bible clearly states that we are not to set our mind on earthly things but on things above.  God calls us to look at the bigger picture that our outcome is not about earthly things but Godly things.  We should be so focused on things above, on glorifying God's name, that it radiates on our earthly things.  When you set your heart is on things above you know that your greatest reward is yet to come, that your success is not of this earth but comes from fulfilling what God has called you to do, loving all of God's children, and living for the glory of God.  So remember to look up at all times, even when it seems impossible to look up, keep your head up and your mind focused on things above and watch how fast things turn around, turn around to a feeling of hope instead of despair, to feeling of positivity instead of negativity.  
Keep looking up!!!


Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
~Colossians 3:1-4
