Today, on the drive in, I was meditating on the whole idea of fixing our minds on the things above (Colossians 3.1-4). Five results of doing this came to mind:
1. We will have joy. Doing this elevates us where we need to be, and it's joy-inducing.
2. We will have perspective. We need this in the face of discontentment and fatigue which can come.
3. We will be motivated to develop our relationship with Christ. When we see what we have in the heavenly places, we will want to know Him better.
4. We can make it through the hard times. There is nothing like eternal hope to see us through the crises.
5. We will see others in the right way. We won't see them as bothers, nuisances or interruptions. One recent newspaper report quoted a former high-level female advisor in the White House as saying that she felt like a "piece of meat".
God bless you all.

Colossians 3: 1-4 1 "If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory."
