„Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God."
Colossians 3:1
Thoughts within the New Covenant
Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above. Paul does not say: Try to be raised. He says: You HAVE BEEN raised. With Christ. That has already happened. Now align your gaze accordingly.
Your gaze determines your direction. When you look above, at Christ seated at the right hand, your day orders itself differently. Not from duty, but because you understand where you belong.
Today you can lift your gaze and live from the resurrection reality.
Truth & Application
Truth: You have been raised with Christ. That is not a future hope but a spiritual present. Your seat is where Christ sits, and from there you may shape your life.
Today practically: Lift your gaze today. Instead of staring at problems, align yourself with Christ. What is above determines how you live below.
Question for you: What are you looking at today, circumstances or Christ?
Prayer
Father, thank you that I have been raised with Christ. Today I set my gaze above. I release heaviness and problem focus. Holy Spirit, thank you for showing me today what is above, I live from it. Amen.
