Keeping My Mind on Things Above

I've been in a contemplative mood all day.  I sense that God is teaching me about myself, in relation to areas of time stewardship and keeping my mind on things above.  These thoughts have been slowly simmering for quite some time; but, I'm just now starting to formulate how that might translate to changes I need to make in my life.

I will take more time to pursue knowledge and wisdom by filling my heart and mind with good Christian material.   I've found that as I have gone back to reading more books, like I used to do when I sat in the airport while on business travel, I've been able to benefit from the valuable information and insights in various topics and areas.

Changes in my life can also be related to what I am learning as I am reading.   I think it would be useful, to set time apart to "simplify", as suggested in "Finding the Life You've Been Looking For".   I will also take the time to address the areas of my life that have been neglected because they were considered non-critical; but, would actually be useful and beneficial when taken care of.

"Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth"  (Colossians 3:2)
