Set Your Focus Correctly

Introduction

: 1-

Colossians 3:1–4 CSB

So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things

Getting the right perspective

Focusing where we should be

5 - 11 - When we are focused on things here

12 - 17 - When we are focused on things above

When we are focused on the Lord and the things of the Lord, our relationship with people is right.

If I spend my time aligning with the Lord, my relationships begin aligning.

The Love, Peace, Word of Christ

Whatever you do in Word or Deed, do it for the Lord.

Ask yourself, is what I am doing for the Lord or what He wants me to do?

Is how I am doing this, align with Christ.

Christ First, then deal with your worldly situation. If you put Jesus first in the situation, it narrows your options. It focuses us in on where our focus should be.
