‘…set you hearts on things above……set your minds on things
above…’
This is about getting our perspective right.
Perspective is powerful. When an artist has got the
perspective right you feel like you can walk into the picture but when the
perspective is wrong books look like they’re about to slide off tables and
everything is all out of proportion.
Setting our hearts on things above is putting heaven’s
priorities into daily practice.
Setting our minds on things above is concentrating on the
eternal rather than the temporal<!--[if !supportFootnotes]-->[1]<!--[endif]-->.
This is about storing up for ourselves treasures in heaven
rather than treasures on earth (Matthew 6:19-20).
What does this mean for you today?
When our perspective is right we will be clothed with, v 12,
compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Things will look
right.
