I’m not going to lie; I am there. My mind Is jam packed with deadlines, stresses and relational issues. Work is stressful, I can’t seem to balance my work and school load, Christmas is coming up, did I mention that work is stressful? It’s easy to get lost in the shuffle of day-to-day operations. At the end of the day, after all I have accomplished, I’m still not satisfied. But then I see where I have erred. My mind is consumed with the here and now. There is no rise-above of my mind towards God. My focus is downward. Colossians 3 says to set your mind on things above. The first verse of the chapter says to set our eyes on heavenly things; where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. So in other words, when we stop looking at our business and look towards Christ, we don’t find him hustling and bustling like we are. He’s sitting down. Why in the world would he be sitting in a time like this? Because there is nothing else for Him to accomplish. He has already done it all, paid it all, said it all, and given it all. I’m not going to lie, this doesn’t make all my problems magically go away, but it is a good way to start.
