“And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.” (Colossians 3: 2, Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)

Let’s heed this message and do our very best to discipline our thinking. Our lives are surely blessed as we remove thoughts of anger, guilt, fear, shame, hatred, discouragement and lift consciousness to receive God’s thoughts of peace, goodness, joy, hope, love—reality.

A focus on limited material things, base emotions and actions, and the gloom and doom the world may present, will never open our eyes to what is ours to enjoy. Nor does it aid us in helping to uplift and enlighten others in ways that can help us all find progress and realize peace and satisfaction—individually and as a global community.

The emphatic statement here is not only to think about the higher things—God’s creation, His qualities and our own natural and active expression of them—but to keep our minds set on these higher ideals. It takes conscious awareness to do this, but as we begin to recognize thoughts that are not healing, not from God, we can actively replace those thoughts, listening for God’s higher things moment by moment.

As we learn to do this, it becomes more natural. We begin to see when we are being deceived, mesmerized, and to awaken and rejoice in what is right, good, true, constructive, and healing.
