Set Your Mind on Things Above

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.—Colossians 3:1–2 (NIV)
As Guideposts founder Norman Vincent Peale said, “You can if you think you can.” No matter how dark things seem, raise your sights and see the possibilities. With God’s help, you can live courageously and victoriously.
Lord, give me the strength and courage to do what You want me to do.

Be Even-Tempered

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.—Proverbs 19:11 (NIV)
Thomas Fuller wrote, “Two things a man should never be angry at: what he can help, and what he cannot help.” The next time you feel your temper rising, take a deep breath and rise above provocation. Let this verse guide your thinking.
Lord, help me to keep control of my emotions so that I react to upsetting situations with patience and understanding.

Miracles Ahead

“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.”—Mark 11:23 (NIV)

Pleasing the Lord

On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.—1 Thessalonians 2:4 (NIV)
The next time you have a big decision to make, instead of thinking about yourself or others, focus on pleasing God. Spend quiet time asking Him to guide you. Commit to living your life in a way that honors Him.
Almighty God, You are the center of my life—I trust You with my decisions.

The Power of Humility

All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another.—1 Peter 5:5 (NIV)
St. Augustine wrote, “If you should ask me what are the ways of God, I would tell you that the first is humility, the second is humility, and the third is humility. Not that there are no other precepts to give, but if humility does not precede all that we do, our efforts are fruitless.” A humble heart is essential to spiritual growth.  
Lord, help me to walk humbly with You. Replace any feelings of pride or arrogance with love of service for Your glory.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.—Psalm 84:11 (KJV)
Today, as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, pray a portion of the beautiful prayer for protection that is said to come from his breastplate.
I arise today, through God’s strength to pilot me, God’s might to uphold me, God’s wisdom to guide me, God’s eye to look before me, God’s ear to hear me, God’s Word to speak for me, God’s hand to guard me… and God’s shield to protect me.
