Colossians 3:1-10In Colossians 3:2, Paul used the verb think in connection with the mind. He told his fellow believers to keep letting thoughts about Jesus rule their minds. Thinking about Jesus should not be haphazard ( irregularity ), but consistent and intentional. We should fasten our minds on who Jesus is, always taking a fresh look at Him and the things He said.
Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth (v2)
This verse doesn't mean we should never think about earthly things -money, houses, cars, work, school, and family. These things, however, should never be our ultimate aim, our ultimate goal, and our ultimate master. As Jesus-followers, we are called to keep our feet moving in the world while getting our marching orders from heaven. We must be heavenly-minded, so as to make earth more like God created it to be.
The purpose of our journey is that we will be conformed to the image of Jesus. So, let's fill our minds with things that honor Him. Our thoughts are the sum total of our character, so let's try to do a better job with our mental hygiene this week. It will benefit us and those around us.
What good things have been filling your mind today? Why is it so important to continually have Jesus in our thoughts?
