Bible Verse for July 26th.

Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.

Colossians 3:2

NLT Bible

It's said that what we are constantly thinking about ultimately becomes the main focus in our lives. So, this poses the question, "What are we really thinking about?" Especially now, most people are focused on the pandemic and thoughts of personal safety, isolation at home and lack of social interaction are swirling in their minds. It's understandable given the situation, but aside from this, we need to think about what else is really filling our minds. Is it social media, television, pornography, some form of addiction, lustful pleasures or material things? We need to remember that all these things crowding our minds are temporal and serve only to replace our thoughts of God and the things of heaven.

We need to pause, take stock of our lives and get back to God. This means we must meditate on His goodness, spend time in prayer and in His Word. Our thoughts must be fixed on all that is pure, lovely, true, honourable, holy and admirable. When worldly thoughts surface and they will, we can toss them aside by directing our thoughts to God. Earthly things will most certainly fade, but the things of God are forever.

Thank you Lord for loving me. Help me to fix my mind on things above and not on the things of the world. I purpose to block out those thoughts that are continually swirling around in my mind. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
