MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL FOR 21 JANUARY

THE 21st OF JANUARY 

FOCUS ON HEAVENLY THINGS, NOT EARTHLY MATTERS 

“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
— Colossians 3:1-2

As darkness and wickedness continue to increase in the world, we face a choice: to feel overwhelmed and defeated or to fix our thoughts on heavenly things and walk in victory. When we praise the Lord for His blessings and focus on the “full half of the glass,” we shift our attention from life’s challenges to Jesus, the ultimate problem-solver. This allows the Holy Spirit to guide us toward solutions and peace.

By dedicating time to grow in the knowledge of the Lord—through Bible study and a heart set on His kingdom—we nurture our spirit, keeping it alive and thriving. This growth enables us to live in alignment with God’s original purpose for us. We are spiritual beings designed to live in harmony with the Holy Spirit, who leads us into all truth, just as Jesus promised.

SUGGESTED PRAYER 

Lord, I surrender my mind, heart, and all that I am to You. Let Your light guide my steps on the path of righteousness. Protect me from evil thoughts and help me overcome discouragement, sadness, grief, or worry by fixing my eyes on You. Teach me to truly praise You and remind me of all the wonderful things You have done for me. May I rest in Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Amen
