I know that the things I truly love I think of often. When I was away from my wife and kids, I can say I thought of them and prayed for them often. Why is it that they take stage? Because they were on my mind and in my heart. Now let me ask…what do you love most? And does what you say with your mind (what you think of most) match up?
“Set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Colossians 3:1b-2 NIV
Our hearts, minds, devotion should also be preoccupied with heaven. For it is there that our King sits in glory and reigns. Our minds should be set on what His mind is set upon. And what things are these? These, “things above” refer to spiritual values. The very things that make up our Lord: love, purity, tenderness, kindness, forgiveness, wisdom and meekness (strength under control). The verse points us to not only think on heaven but to seek heaven with sincerity. As a Christian our whole disposition should be toward heaven, for this is where our deepest affection resides, the one true love of our life can be found here and thus heaven should occupy our hearts and our minds.
