Set your heart on things above Col 3:2

So simple and yet I do not do this very often. Today join me in seeking to do this each day, start each day setting my heart and mind on things above (do not skip starting with prayer, Bible reading, making my posts in social media focus on things above)I can do this and you can to by focusing your mind, where you steer the mind, thoughts and actions follow…just like driving a car.

The topic is a thread throughout the Bible on how to do this and it’s importance.

Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

1 Chronicles 22:19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 29:3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Psalm 49:11-17Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names…

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Hope, Reason, Faith in a time of Crisis

Keep in mind on any threat

–God has our back no matter what-the exit from this life is death no matter when it happens-be depending on Jesus for your correct exit strategy

-the country survived the 1918, 1957, 2009, and 2017 flu pandemics

– the models are being adjusted downward each day or week as real data comes in, the models were 100% wrong and created bad general public policy decisions based on fear. we were going to have millions dead in the USA even with social lockdowns, now the ‘models’ predict less than 60,000 may die by early fall. That is a bad flu season that never gets much news coverage.

– the CV19 is bad if you get sick from it in some cases. Most people do not get sick after exposure. Most do not even know they have been exposed. if you are over 55, take extra precautions.

-we are better connected exponentially than ever before, there is a -nobel prize race occurring globally to develop vaccines and therapy/antidotes. Those who are at risk and get critically sick are being treated successfully in many cases.

–We are resilient, ignore fear, pray, wash your hands, if you feel sick call a doctor. Be calm and continue. Fear leads always to bad decisions.
