heavenly minded

If we learn to focus on the things above, nothing in this
world can discourage us.
The word “mind” in Col.3:2 means more than just thoughts.
It includes our whole being. We are encouraged to let heaven
direct our affections and will, too.
In order to be “earthly good” one needs to be heavenly minded.
Heaven is not just an alternative for us. It is the only reasonable
purpose and goal for man’s life.
John Lennon, in his rebellion, encouraged people to imagine that
there is no heaven. What a wasted philosophy.
It’s like a high tech engineer who would be acting like an ameba.
Earthly goodness is often just a heap of dirt covering man’s
self-given trophies.
Hyper-spirituality has nothing to do with true spirituality.
A hyper-spiritual man tries to reach God’s standard by his own efforts.
Any success in doing this will lead him to self-righteousness,
comparison and judgmental attitude.
A heavenly minded person cannot be overly occupied with his
environment and circumstances. He knows better.
He will not let the psychological demands of his own soul
dictate his priorities. He has seen something bigger.
His connection with heaven makes his life on this earth exciting.
Heaven is too big of a word to be included in the rhetoric of today’s
global politicians. Praise God, it is still spoken of in the churches.
The moment when man loses his sight of heaven he loses his hope
and with it - everything.
