Set Your Minds On Greatness

We love to let our minds drift, especially when it comes to anything which relates to each of us individually. Some drift away and dream about that possible future promotion. Others dream about meeting their dream partner, their future wife. Others dream about going into space or design something special, a new invention which will place their names amongst the elite in this world. Many set their minds on becoming their own bosses, or inventing something exclusive. And so it goes on.

Unfortunately, most men set their minds on earthly pleasures, earthly wants or treasures. We don’t go beyond that kind of thinking. What about setting your minds on something not in this world, physically that is. Maybe setting our minds on something of greatness and beyond this world could be the best move ever. God has taught us a great truth, and this is found in Colossians 3:2. The verse goes like this – “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” Wow! We men are seeking all that is dead and will not last! And that’s the real truth. God wants us to be different to those around us, especially us men who believe in Christ Jesus our Lord. Seeking what is above means to seek Godly things, things that grow us spiritually.

We at times allow negativity to come and lead us in the wrong direction. We let the things on this earth to fill our minds and they will never last. Everything on earth as well as the earth will come to an end. Only God and everything that is everlasting, of eternal nature where He is part of will last. We are told in the bible that we should store our treasures in heaven. Why? Because nothing corrodes or disappears there. All things earthly and worldly will pass on and end; even our earthly bodies will come to an end. Therefore believe in God and His greatness and set our minds and thoughts on this, not on worldly things. There God will prepare everything for us. Be blessed!
