Colossians 3:1-2 – 1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
The devil has had a heyday distracting the church. Get you a great job. Go for the big house. You can be anything you want to be. Work hard and get what you deserve. You control your own destiny. Don’t worry about the big pie in the sky you may be hearing about from that dreamer Jesus, besides you can worry about that right before you die.
The Bible doesn’t read like this at all. Probably why today it’s the most widely bought and least read book in the entire world.
Do I go for the bag of peanuts or do I seek out the One who loves me, created me and wants to be my King. If I seek Him there is an eternal reward and it won’t be peanuts.
Do I serve the one who completely hates me or the One who is love, and loves me completely?
Man is a cheap sell out and easily distracted. If you have accepted Christ as your Savior and King, you have been given the Spirit and strength to avoid the pitfalls and distractions laid out there by the enemy.
Who will you serve?
