Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. --- Colossians 3:1-2 NLT Setting our sights on the realities of heaven means striving to put heaven’s priorities into daily practice. Letting heaven fill our thoughts means concentrating on the eternal rather than the temporal. See Philippians 4:7 and Colossians 3:15 for more on Christ’s rule in our hearts and minds. --- Life Application Study Bible notes PRAYER Dear Heavenly Father, Forgive me that my old self was consumed with earthly things. In You, I am a new creation with freedom. Father, cleanse me from my sin and purify me from guilt. Give me the willingness to make the necessary changes in me so that I always set my heart on things above. Change my focus so that I see Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen
