Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.–Colossians 3:2
Focusing on God and heaven may seem like your taking a break from reality. In some ways you are. Being in the presence of God can make you forget about everything else and just focus on him.
But it also helps us to change our perspective.
When we allow ourselves to get caught up in all the things in the world we can lose sight of God and what he has for us.
Focusing our mind on things above isn’t about being disconnected from reality its about changing our perspective of reality. Heaven is real. God is real. Fixing our eyes on him and his kingdom gives us the bigger perspective of the creator and his creation, instead of focusing on our immediate circumstances or surroundings. Fixing our eyes of Jesus is like zooming out to see the bigger picture.
