Tues Devo: Mind to the good

Colossians 3:1-3 “Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (NASB)

Hello,

This past weekend my wife and I were spending some time with the kids, and I recall several times telling them to think positively about what they were doing – that they could achieve what they were doing. Now, just thinking something doesn’t make it happen – but your starting mindset will set you up towards success or failure. I think about this when it comes to the spiritual battles we face as well. If we are constantly thinking about we are trying to not do or avoid – that is all we will think about! When we mentally spend time on things, they tend to become our focus – the opposite of what we were hoping for. Instead, we should put on our minds on whatever it is we are trying TO do, the things we want to see accomplished.  Where we set our mind is reflective of our focus and priority. Our walk with God is not to be focused on what not to do, but rather what will glorify Him.

Where is your mind set?
