Set Your Mind...

“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. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4

Driving through a dense morning fog can be disorienting. Limited visibility requires your focused attention on the road immediately ahead and can make the trip emotionally and physically draining. The Christian life on this side of heaven is often like that drive in the morning fog. We do not see things very clearly. The sin in this world has blurred the reality of our final destination and can make our earthly pilgrimage tense and anxious.

“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12

Though we are being conformed to the image of Christ, we will become fully like Him only when we meet Him in the heavenlies. Keeping before us the glorious image of Christ by regular meditation on the Scriptures is on transforming way by which we can help clear the fog of confusion, fear, worry, and evil. Believers will be like Christ one day with a glorified body. We will rule with Him. Keeping that sure and certain truth before you each day helps life the fog of perplexity and maintain the journey with unchanging purpose.

“...with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord...” 2 Corinthians 3:18
