A Mental Realignment

By Sarah Beth Lindberg

The above passage of Scripture reminds us that we need to have our hearts and minds set on the things of Christ. This passage has been a constant tool of realignment for my mind. How often I get off track thinking about things that just don't matter. This passage of Scripture reminds me that I have been raised with Christ to a new life...

Why do I go back to a place that elevates my sinful nature and diminishes the work of the cross? It's a battle I will face for the rest of my time on this earth. I'm thankful to God that He shows me grace and continues to call me forward in the things of Him.

I like how the amplified version of this verse reads, "keep seeking the things that are above"... This part of the Scripture has a lot of meaning when you dig into the Greek on it. The Greek says this verb is a Present Active Imperative verb. This means that we are to be presently seeking God right in this moment, actively continuing to seek Him long into the future.

Lord, please teach us what it means to fully seek You. May our hearts be realigned to your purpose and plan for our lives. May we live to honor You and be people who strive after a Christlike mindset. Lord, I pray that the revival we so desperately seek for our country will start in each one of us as we seek Your face!
