“Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.” Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬

It’s so easy to be distracted. Bills need to be paid. Chores need to get finished. Shopping needs to get done. The list can be endless and overwhelming.

Have you ever noticed that when you think of what needs to get done the list snowballs? In no time at all you can feel defeated, frustrated and like a complete failure. Paul knew frustration.

Paul knew defeat. Paul knew what is is like to be misunderstood, rejected and overwhelmed by the pressure of life and ministry. What was his solution? Focus.

Focus on the things of heaven. Heaven is power. Heaven is timeless. Heaven is love, forgiveness and remembering Jesus’ promises to care for you in everyday situations.


Jesus, help me in the struggles of today to focus on your promises. Amen.
