Higher Things
Higher Things
If then you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. - Colossians 3:1–2 A confident woman does not live in "if only" and "what if." The world is filled with people who feel empty and unfulfilled because they have spent their lives bemoaning what they did not have, instead of using what they do have. Don't live in the tyranny of "if only." If only I had more education, more money, more opportunity or someone to help me. If only I had a better start in life; if only I had not been abused; if only I were taller. If only I weren't so tall. If only, if only, if only. . . Where the mind goes, the man follows. Pay more attention to your thoughts and choose to think on things that will help you instead of hinder you, and God's power will be released to help you be the confident woman God wants you to be. Think confident and you will be confident! Lord, make me aware of where I am hanging on to old thoughts of "if only" or "what if." Help me to focus on what will propel me forward and release Your power in me rather than what will hinder me. Amen. From the book The Confident Woman Devotional: 365 Daily Devotions by Joyce Meyer
