Set Your Heart.....on Joy in Jesus!


            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Set your heart on the things that bring genuine joy to your life.

            What do you think about most often?  On what things do you continually focus?  Is it your problems or your blessings?  Are you more concerned about the needs of today or are you aiming toward eternity?  Colossians 3:1 tells us what is most important: 

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.” 

When our hearts are set on heaven, we can rise above the problems of this world. We can look to Him and know that our God lives and moves all around us. Setting our hearts on things above releases us from the bondage of materialism and seeking after selfish gain. The key to having a heart set on heaven is stepping back and realigning all of our desires with heavenly gain in mind.*

Often we get so caught up in the urgent, necessary busyness of our days, that we miss out on the truly important things—like spending time in God’s Word and communicating with Him through prayer. When we allow the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts, and we are intentional about “setting our hearts on things above”, then we will experience an indescribable, glorious joy that 1 Peter 1:8 tells us about.

Set your heart on the joy of Jesus!
