Eternity In View

Let heaven fill your thoughts; don’t spend your time worrying about things down here. Colossians 3:2(TLB translation) 

Everyone has a bad day every now and then where their thoughts and heart slip off the Christian wagon so to speak. You start dwelling on a problem and fear or lack of trust enters in then next you have wrong thinking patterns and possibly anger and confusion. Not stuff to glorify God for sure. That is why it is so critical to fill your mind with things above.

Do you live for today or do you live with Eternity in View? If you remember to live each moment with eternity in view how much more joyful  life would be, 

but human nature sometimes gets in the way and you say or do things you are not proud of and wish you could wind back the clock.

Try this. If you feel yourself slipping start praising God out loud if you can and then start praying and thanking God for His blessings to you. Tell Satan to take a hike cause you are covered with the blood of Jesus and no weapon formed against you will prosper.

PRAYER: Lord I thank you that you love me and care for me and when I am weak you are strong. I choose to focus on you when the enemy tries to get me to stumble. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
