I don’t know about you, but mind likes to wander, untethered, during the day. I can easily worry about something, remember a random thing I needed to do, plan for this thing and that… My mind needs to be tethered. Maybe yours, too?
I love this verse in Colossians 3. I’ve been planted here for the past week because it’s so. Good.
Friends, we need to SET our minds on God and the things above. Not on earthly things. God knows our minds and how we work. What we focus on is what we focus on!
When reading this verse, I always picture setting a book on the top of a shelf. When you set an item somewhere , you’ve made a decision of permanency for that item. Where does that clean plate belong? Set it on the shelf in the cupboard. Where does that folded sheet belong? Set it in the linen closet.
Where does my mind need to be? Set it on God and the things above.
Easier said than done most days. But will you join me in the daily (and often hourly, minute-ly) decision to SET on our minds on God and the things above? To be concerned first about Him and His kingdom. Oh, how I want to grow in this. Our Father longs to help us in this.
