Things above

Daily Gratitude Year 5-Day 359: Today, I am grateful we can think on things above. 

Dr. Seuss once wrote: "Oh the thinks we can think." He hit the nail on the head. Our minds are powerful. They say we don't even completely understand what the mind can do. We all know what happens when negative thoughts set in. Nothing good comes of it. 

I think it must make God sad when we compare ourselves to others. 

“Comparison is the thief of joy.” -Teddy Roosevelt

In scripture, we are reminded that each one of us was knit in our mother's womb with wonder and delight. Each of us is full of promise. We need to remember that the one who called us according to his purpose has equipped us and will make a way. 

"Set your mind on things above, not on things that are on earth." -Colossians 3:2 

Each of us must choose our focus as we make our way. As we come to the end of another year... what has been the "main thing"? Is He the main thing? What little daily steps do we take to keep our minds on Him?

Today, I am grateful we can think on things above.
