Colossians 3:1-4
1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
In verse 2 we are instructed to "set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth". This is an important truth to grasp, for where our focus is, there our heart will be. If we set our minds on fantasies and sexual desires, it will affect our spirit and our behavior. But conversely, if we set our minds on the things of God, it will build up our spirit and our behavior. This is why we need to be careful about what we watch and how we spend our time, because it affects us spiritually.
God, I am so easily distracted by earthly things. Help me to set my mind on Your kingdom and Your truths.
