Do you ever struggle with being able to focus? I have struggled with that all my life and it is frustrating. My mind likes to wander here or there as I read my Bible during devotions. There are so many pressing issues ahead of me for the day. Or I read something, and it makes me think of something else and before long I have forgotten where I am in my reading.
We can focus our thoughts on material things that will disappear over time, or we can focus on spiritual things that will never disappear. We can focus on God’s love, God’s kindness, God’s mercy, God’s compassion, or we can focus on the world, the news, or current events. What we set our mind to focus on matters. Looking up blesses while looking around depresses. Look Up Friends. Heaven Awaits!
“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:2-4 NIV
