"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)
Many of us have heard the story of an ostrich being scared and sticking its head in the sand. While this is not a true depiction of the ostrich, it is sometimes how I feel. It can be easy to get caught in fear or bogged down in the details or the day-to-day operations of life that we don't always see what is around us.
As believers in the risen Christ, we shouldn't always be looking down, living in fear, or hiding our heads in the sand. Instead, we should be keeping our eyes focused on Jesus, the One who is risen and seated with God. When we keep our eyes on Him, we don't have to be afraid or get bogged down with our ear life. We can set our minds on greater things with a faith in all that God has shown and promised us!
Instead of getting stuck in the sand, keep your eyes on God and the great things He will do through you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and being willing to be an active part of my life. Help me to always keep my eyes on You and following Your will. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
