Living with Heaven’s Awareness

In a world that constantly demands our attention, Jesus calls us to lift our gaze above the temporary and focus on the eternal. Paul’s words to the Colossians remind us to set our minds on things above. This doesn’t mean we ignore daily responsibilities but that we carry an awareness of heaven’s perspective into every task, conversation, and decision. Are your thoughts dominated by stress, fear, or comparison? Or are they shaped by God’s truth and promises? Living with heaven’s awareness means we stop letting the urgent crowd out the important. We pause and ask: “What matters most to God in this moment?” It changes how we react to frustration, how we love those around us, and how we make decisions. Today, slow down and recalibrate your thoughts. Instead of being dragged down by the world’s worries, fix your eyes on Jesus.

Applications:

1. Write down three areas where earthly distractions are consuming your thoughts and ask God to help refocus you on His truth.
2. Set a reminder on your phone to pause three times today and refocus on God’s presence.
