Seek things above

¹ If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. ² Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. ³ For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. ⁵ Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. ⁶ Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience
Colossians 3:1-5 (NKJV)

The disobedient and earthly members will always yearn for their own ways, but we must be firm and consistent in the tearing down of every stronghold and bringing every thought, idea, pursuits etc in our life into captivity and submission to the will of God. It cannot be business as usual.

What things do we set our minds on? Things above or things here that will be no more after some time? The things we set our minds on will determine how effective we are in dealing with our earthly members.
