Colossians 3:1
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Think about the things that you have your heart set on- the goals in your life, your desires and all the things your heart imagines on a daily basis. Think about the course for your life that your heart has set itself on, and why your heart is set on that. So often we will fill our hearts and set our hearts on things that are temporary and offer only fleeting pleasure. We aim for what we think will satisfy us, instead of searching deeper to find what we need to satisfy us completely. When we die to our old ways of live and rise to live in the new life Christ offers us through life in Him, we find ourselves setting our hearts on heavenly things that never fade instead of the unstable earthly things that we so often get attached to. With this new life in Christ and a new course set for our hearts, we find that we are no longer filled with temporary pleasure that leaves us so empty, but we are satisfied and sustained because we have set our hearts on the unshakable, unchangeable and everlasting things of heaven that God designed us to be live by.
Open up to God about what you have your heart set on in this moment, and why. Talk to Him about how those things that your heart is set on have impacted you, and how He wants you handle it. If you feel God leading you, ask Him to create in you a new life so that you may rise to live the new life Christ offers us through life in Him. Once you do, you'll find yourself incredibly satisfied and sustained through all your days.
I pray that your new life and purpose in Christ will empower you throughout today. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
