Colossians 3:2 “ Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
Where is your focus today? Is it on a number? A behavior? A past failure? A future worry? If you are anything like me, my focus is on all of the things that I have to do. My to-do list is running and running through my mind all the time.
This was not God’s intention. The Devil has gotten us so busy, and so worked up over the things in our lives that we need to do, or want to do, or want to look like, that he has successfully shifted our focus.
When our focus is not on God, and what we need to be doing for Him, praising Him, praying to Him, and His purpose in our lives, the devil is winning the game in your mind. The second our focus switches to all of the worries, the devil starts talking to us, getting us more busy and putting more things on our minds to worry about. And when we don’t get the never ending to-do list done? We are a failure.
God does not want us to ever have these kinds of thoughts. Instead, God wants us to focus on Him and His will for our lives. When our focus is on pleasing God, we are no longer trying to get any kind of approval from society. We no longer feel worthless, or like we’ve failed. We no longer have self-deprecating thoughts that stop our desire to live out God’s plan for us.
Shift your focus today. Pray and ask God to help you focus on Him above all else today. Ask Him to show you how to overcome the devil in your mind. He will help you! He wants to help you so badly. But if you aren’t focused, and aren’t listening to what God is saying, He can’t guide any of your steps according to His great plan for you.
