Colossians 3:1-3 NASB Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

My son got an airplane toy from my parents that he really loves. You hang it from the ceiling and when you turn it on it flies around and around in a circle. He loves to look up and watch it when we turn it on. The funny thing is that each time he starts out looking up to watch the plane, but he ends up staring at the light fixture on the ceiling. He’s just attracted to the light!

If we spend all our time looking around at things of this world, we will focus on worldly things. If we look up to where Christ is seated on the throne, we’ll notice a lot of other important things while we are looking up. The more we look at Christ, the more our lives will begin to focus on God’s Kingdom and bring glory to Him.
