Aim High

1/18/2015

1 Comment

 
"Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth." -Colossians 3:1-2 (NASB)
There is a saying that goes, "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you will land in the stars."  As we live our lives, we should shoot for the example that Jesus has set for us.  Even when we miss, God will be there to set us back on the right path. 

This advice to aim high can be applied to our lives.  Our lives should be lived with our eye on God and Jesus.  We should try to model our lives after the example set by Jesus.  We should look up to them, forming our lives in their images, and we should practice their love here on earth.  With our minds set on things above, we can take the love of God and do good to expand God's Kingdom here on earth!

Aim high, keeping your mind on God and Jesus, and allowing God to use you for good here on earth!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for raising Jesus from the dead so I can have hope in all I do.  Help me to aim high and allow my efforts to be pleasing to You.  Use me to do good here on earth and to expand Your Kingdom for the benefit of everyone.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
