"Since then you've 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.". Col 3:1-2
Setting your hearts and minds on things above is something that takes effort. It's a conscious decision to enjoy Christ MORE than temporal issues trouble you. It's a disposition that says "I'll claw at this gospel and saturate myself in this gospel till I fear and enjoy God MORE than I'm troubled by the issue." When you do this, the trouble and difficulty are still there.......BUT the gravity of the trouble is put in perspective. Even the worst of trials becomes "light and momentary" relative our blessings in Christ.
Set your hearts and minds on these kinds of things. It's simple......not easy.
