Setting Your Mind on Things Above
Devotional
It’s so easy to get caught up in the daily grind—stressing over finances, comparing ourselves to others, obsessing over what’s next. But the Bible reminds us: our minds were made for higher things.
When we set our thoughts on God’s truth, His goodness, and His promises, everything else shifts. Anxiety fades. Stress loses its grip. Instead of seeing problems, we start seeing possibilities. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, we feel anchored in God’s peace.
Where your mind goes, your heart follows. So today, make the choice: fix your thoughts on things above.
• What distractions are keeping your mind focused on earthly things?
• How would shifting your focus to God bring you peace?
• What is one practical way you can set your mind on things above today?
Prayer:
Lord, I don’t want to live distracted and consumed by the temporary. Help me set my mind on things above. When I feel anxious or overwhelmed, remind me of Your truth. Fill my mind with Your peace. Amen.
Memory Verse:
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” —Isaiah 26:3 (NIV)
