One Verse Devotional

God tells us to set our minds on things above, not on the earth. But how does that work? One word: FOCUS Have you ever tried talking to someone who is deep in their cell phone? Or talk to someone while they are watching t.v. or surfing the internet only to realize they haven’t heard a thing? (“I’ve been there!” -My wife.) It’s frustrating, isn’t it! You may have something important you need to talk to them about, but their FOCUS is somewhere else. I think that is what God means in our One Verse today. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Of course, there are some earthly things we have to take care of. I have a family. I have bills to pay. Even fun stuff. I enjoy snow skiing and going to the beach and, yes, a good movie. But it all comes down to our FOCUS. Where are we placing our focus? Where is our main attention going? Does God feel like He is trying to tell us something important, but our face is stuck in our phone? Life can get distracting. But let’s keep our focus on what really matter
