The Thought For The Day: Heavenly Minded
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
Inspiration: “Seek heaven and you will get earth thrown in. But if you seek earth, you will get neither.” C.S. Lewis
Be: (Positive Confession) I am Heavenly Minded.
Do: (First Steps) Today, take your eyes off of the material because in the long run its importance is immaterial. This is not to say that you should be, as Oliver Wendell Holmes once said “so heavenly minded” that you are “no earthly good”. On the contrary those that are truly heavenly minded understand that while on this Earth we must make the most of our time here reaching and touching a dying world by using the gifts and resources we have been blessed with for more than just self-interest. Expend your efforts, therefore, not for things that will eventually rust out, expire, and lose their value; but rather, helping others capture the miracle of eternity in the presence of a loving God.
Have: (Turning Dreams Into Reality) As I fix my attention heavenward and unselfishly extend myself to others I’ll have the richness of heaven and position myself for the promise of riches on Earth.
Be, do, and have the best day of your life! God Bless YOU!
