Colossions 3: Realities of Heaven
Consider: Colossians 3
A few days ago I posted a few thoughts on how Paul was encouraging the believers and their thought life.
Our thought life is important… it really impacts our entire lives.
Now here in Colossians 3, Paul lays out that we should: “set our sights should be on the realities of heaven… let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth” (see Colossians 3:1-2).
What does it mean to think on the realities of heaven? It means to constantly remind yourself and bring to the forefront of thought the truth about it.
Here are some of the realities of heaven:
- The LORD sits on the throne in heaven; He’s in control!
- The angels surround His throne singing Holy, Holy, Holy; He is worth all of our worship and more.
- His will is done the moment it is spoken; Instant obedience.
- There is no veil and He is not hidden; His face is in plain site!
Can you see why it would be important to fill our minds with these things? The realities of heaven are not just golden streets and pearly gates… but a place
I challenge you today to set your sights on the realities of heaven; let heaven fill your thoughts, because in that, your mind will be change and transformed. No longer will you be content with what’s here on this earth, but a desire for more and a desire to be with Him where He is will fill your life!
