If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Seek the things that are above, set Your minds on things that are above—the challenge is to differentiate between things above and things that are on earth. My flesh seeks to deceive, crying out that something is so attractive it must be of God but the stench of death gives it away when I am truly seeking the things above. Guide me, Holy Spirit.
