First Things First

Colossians 3:1-3
1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

It's so easy to read this verse and say ok no problem. However living it out is quite another. Having an eternal focus is crucial to living for Christ on a daily basis. The choices I make are they eternal in scope or just the necessary to get by for that moment. Living the life of a follower of Christ is all about choosing and looking to our eternal home and not satisfying the moment. Today may I fix my eyes on Christ and my heart on things above so that I might live for Him.

Father give me the strength to live for you and the desire to set my heart on things that would honor you.
