Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. – Colossians 3:2
April’s horizon beckons,
But where is your gaze fixed?
On worries that weigh down?
On troubles that tether?
Our minds naturally drift downward—
To-do lists and deadlines,
Problems and pressures,
Fears and frustrations.
But Paul invites a different perspective:
Set your mind on things above.
Not as escape from reality,
But as anchor for your soul.
When earthly things consume us,
We lose eternal perspective.
When temporal concerns overwhelm,
We forget our true citizenship.
Spring’s upward growth
Mirrors our spiritual calling—
Not rooted in passing things,
But reaching toward heaven’s light.
Your mind will settle somewhere.
Choose its direction deliberately.
