Colossians 3:1-3

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God’s right hand in the place of honor and power. 2 Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.

New Living Translation 

If you spend all your time thinking about things in this life, you will soon be depressed.  The weight of family schedules, work demands, strained relationships, financial burdens, and even natural disasters will soon overwhelm you.

There is something better to think about -  the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God’s right hand in the place of honor and power.  

This world and its concerns are temporary.  Soon they will be gone.  This life seems like the only reality that exists, but there is something much more real, much more permanent.

So, let Heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.
