Where is your mind?

Our minds are powerful things. What we focus on shapes who we become and how we live. When we've been raised with Christ, we're called to set our minds on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. This isn't just positive thinking - it's a spiritual discipline with real power. When your focus is on Christ and His position of authority, something amazing happens: you begin to operate from that same position of authority. The enemy loses his grip on your life because your attention isn't on earthly struggles but on heavenly realities. Think about it this way - if you're constantly focused on your problems, fears, and earthly concerns, that's where your energy goes. But when you focus on where Christ is, on His victory and authority, you begin to experience that same victory in your daily life. This doesn't mean ignoring reality, but rather viewing reality through the lens of Christ's triumph. Your perspective determines your power.

Bible Verse'But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.' - Matthew 6:33-34

Reflection Question

What occupies most of your mental energy throughout the day - earthly concerns or the reality of Christ's authority and victory?
