Season 5 Episode 253

Set Your Mind Above — Colossians 3:1–3Where your mind goes, your life tends to follow.In Colossians 3:1–3, Paul reminds us that because we have been raised with Christ, we are called to seek the things above and deliberately set our minds on heavenly realities.This does not mean ignoring the challenges of everyday life. It means refusing to allow earthly circumstances to have the final word over how we think, feel, and respond.Fear will ask for your attention. Problems will ask for your attention. People’s opinions, disappointments, uncertainty, and anxiety will all compete for space in your mind.But Scripture says, “Set your affection on things above.”In this episode of Meditations, we explore what it means to intentionally redirect our thoughts toward Christ, to interpret our circumstances from heaven’s perspective, and to live with the confidence that our lives are hidden with Christ in God.Whatever you may be facing today, remember: your circumstances are not the whole story.Christ is seated in authority, and your life is secure in Him.Today’s Meditation: “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” — Colossians 3:2–3Take a few minutes today to redirect your thoughts.Set your mind above.
