Today’s Bread: Colossians 3:2
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Colossians 3:2 · King James Version (public domain)
Today’s reflection
Where our minds dwell shapes how we live. God invites us to set our thoughts on things above rather than being consumed by earthly worries and distractions. This is not escapism but perspective, remembering that our true life is hidden with Christ and that He is our lasting treasure. When heaven fills our vision, the pressures of the day lose their grip. Fix your attention on the risen Jesus, and let the reality of what awaits you steady your heart and reorder what you chase after here.
Pray this today
Father, as I carry eternal-life today, let this word from Colossians 3:2 be more than ink on a page. Make it true in me. Quiet what is anxious, steady what is shaking, and draw me nearer to Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
