"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory."
~Colossians 3:1-4
Let us not live for the things which are temporal, but for that which is eternal! This message has been highlighted to me in various ways these past weeks. I am thankful for "The Journal of the Unknown Prophet" which can be purchased at amazon.com or god.tv. My reading from the book yesterday revealed that when we on earth begin to live for only that which can be seen, those things of this world, then our hearts have grown cold.
And what is eternal? What shall we set our minds and hearts on? To feel and know His Presence in prayer and in worship. Let us be like Mary and sit at His feet... listening. His Word as written in Scripture. His commandments which David said he loved. And people. Our husbands and children. These are eternal investments! Let us give freely of our time and affection and strength in serving those closest to us for we have freely received. Let us watch well over the affairs of our households, that the devil may not gain a stronghold. And when we have set our minds on things above, remembering the reality of Heaven and remembering the Lord, we will be so glad and rejoice in that day when we appear before His throne.
