If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on
things on the earth. Colossians, Chapter
3, verses 1-2.
I don’t know how you do it, but you should see me
clean the house. I start with one aspect
of house cleaning. I get off on a
tangent when I see something that needs to be put away in another room. When I’m in that room, I am reminded of
something else that I forgot to do.
After I do that thing, I try to remember what I had originally started
to do, because by that time, I've lost my focus.
Sometimes I remember and sometimes I don’t! This passage reminds me that I am to continue
to focus on God and His will for me instead of going off on tangents and
getting caught up in worldly issues which can pull my focus away from Him.
Because this is an example of how I've applied this Bible passage to my life, it doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the passage.
