“Let Heaven Fill Your Thoughts”
by Dona Hake
“Set your mind on things above.” That is what a stepping stone in my front garden speaks to me every time I walk by it. It has graced my front garden for almost fifteen years. I love things inside and outside of my home that speak to my heart. Sometimes we need reminded to do the right thing. Inside my home there is a sign, and it says one word and that is “Simplify”. This is only one word yet it reminds me to keep it simple, do not overthink things and makes things complicated. For me this is a very powerful word.
Today I had several opportunities that tried to distract my heart from the most important thing and that was keeping my mind on things above, and keeping it simple. It is interesting how easily the things of this world can distract us and pull us away from dwelling in the Secret Place. Today I encourage you to keep your mind on things above. I am finding that the more I keep my eyes on things above the more I enjoy the simple joys and pleasures of this life. Serve the living God with a glad heart and praise Him today. He desires that we enjoy His presence as He walks beside us! God bless you richly this day!
Colossians 3:2 (TLB)
“Let heaven fill your thoughts;
don’t spend your time worrying about things down here.”
