Set Your Minds Above

Some thoughts are locked into our minds and consume our days — and nights. We try to release them, but they remain. Will someone call today? Will the doctor find the cause of this pain and discomfort? Will strength ever be available to me again? The release is discovered in Christ. Lying sleepless at night, we allow His Spirit to help us focus on the mercies and grace of the Lord. We imagine His goodness flowing down upon us and praise Him for who He is. Knowing our days are wrapped in His love, we wait for the doctor to call or someone to visit. We honor Him with praise no matter how weak we feel. In time, the things of earth will no longer consume us for the things of heaven will fill our thoughts instead.
