Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
This verse encapsulates the essence of a successful Christian life, emphasizing the importance of proper thinking. As believers, we are called to consciously focus our thoughts, desires, and goals on the things of God.
Solomon, in Ecclesiastes, highlights the futility of earthly pursuits, describing them as “vanity and vexation of spirit” (Ecclesiastes 1:14). This underscores the need for “above the sun” thinking, as earthly endeavors often lead to emptiness. Instead, our thoughts should be rooted in the truth that we are dead to sin and alive in Christ (Romans 6:11).
Let us diligently guard our hearts and set our affections on things above, living out our new life in Jesus Christ.
