SET YOUR SIGHTS ON THE REALITIES OF HEAVEN!

“Set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.” Colossians 3:1-2

Heaven is real! Life in heaven with Jesus is real! It is so easy to forget that reality. We are constantly surrounded by the ways of the world we live in. We are surrounded by worldly thoughts, actions and deeds. When Jesus went to set at the right hand of God, God sent us the Holy Spirit to live within us and help us to stay close to him. The Holy Spirit helps us to live our lives with strength and hope. We are to live with joy and peace of mind. We can only live our lives in this way if we believe in the promises he has given us. In order to believe, we must surround ourselves with the things of our God in heaven. We must put total trust in his promises, and we must not only accept them, but we must put them into action in our lives. When we begin to live his promises then heavenly reality sets in. We live our lives here with a new and re-focused purpose. Our sights are set on our Lord God above and not what surrounds us here on this earth. He loves us and wants us to live our lives on this earth with confidence, hope and understanding. So, let him take you by the hand and not only guide you but love you the way he wants to. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
