04/24       SEEK THE THINGS ABOVE


“Seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.” (Colossians 3:1)
Self-denial lifts the gaze heavenward. Discipleship is shaped by what we pursue, and Christ above becomes our pursuit. Seeking the things above anchors us in eternal priorities and away from the passing shadows below.

  • Seeking shapes becoming.
  • Christ-centered vision produces Christ-centered living.
  • Eternal focus strengthens earthly obedience.

Poem – Look Upward
Lift my desire, Lord,
beyond the temporary,
toward the place
where Christ reigns.

Set my spirit
on higher things,
steady and bright
with hope.

Above is my treasure,
above is my life,
found in You
alone.

Prayer
Lord, turn my pursuit toward what is above. Fix my desire on Christ and let eternal truth guide my earthly steps. Anchor me in the things that last.
