Colossians 3:1 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.

A lot of people seem to be focused on what pleases them. Unfortunately, those same people are pleased with obtaining materialistic things on the earth (designer clothes, purses, shoes, expensive cars, etc.). There is nothing wrong with having materialistic things, but those materialistic things shouldn’t be our primary focus.

God desires for us to seek those things which are above because the things that are above are the most important things to God and the most beneficial for us. We see throughout the scriptures what is most important to God.
1. Salvation- God desires to see mankind saved through Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:4-5). The salvation of mankind will come through our witnessing about Jesus Christ.
2. Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, and visiting those in prison (Matthew 25:35-40). Once again, this is our responsibility.
3. Being a blessing (Genesis 12:2).

If we’re so focused on gaining our desires, how will we be able to seek those things above? How will we be able to do the things that are most important to God?

Let’s make God’s priority our priority. Seek those things above.
