03/28   SET YOUR MIND ON THINGS ABOVE

“Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.” (Colossians 3:2)
Connection with God grows where the mind is lifted. Earthly thinking shrinks the soul; heavenly thinking enlarges it. Christ is seated above, and fixing our minds on Him clarifies every earthly challenge.

  • What we think about determines what we chase.
  • A lifted mind produces a lifted life.
  • Christ is the center of heavenly-minded living.

Poem – Lift My Thoughts
Lift my thoughts upward,
beyond the noise,
toward Your truth
and Your presence.

You give clarity
where confusion lived,
and peace where
fear once ruled.

My mind turns heavenward,
steady and renewed,
fixed on Christ
above all things.

Prayer
Lord, set my mind on what is above. Lift my thoughts beyond the temporary and anchor them in the eternal. Let Christ shape my perspective and renew my mind in truth.
