Devotional

We’ve spent the last 29 days focusing on winning the battle in our minds—fighting fear, replacing lies with truth, and renewing our thoughts through Scripture. But at the heart of it all is this: we were made for more than just this life. The ultimate victory is not just peace for today, but eternity with Christ.

Paul’s command in Colossians 3:2 is more than a suggestion to “think positively.” It’s a call to fix our perspective on the eternal, even as we walk through temporary trials. It means remembering that our real home is not here, and our greatest reward is still to come.

When our minds are set on eternity:

• We endure hardship with hope, knowing it’s producing a glory that outweighs it all (2 Corinthians 4:17).
• We forgive more freely, knowing Christ has forgiven us eternally.
• We let go of comparison, knowing we’re already seated with Christ in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).
• We value spiritual growth over worldly success, knowing that what’s unseen is more real than what is seen.

The enemy wants to trap you in the “right now”—the deadlines, the stress, the fear, the distractions. But eternity shifts everything. When you fix your eyes on Christ and His kingdom, the things that once consumed you lose their grip. You begin to see life with eternal clarity.

This doesn’t mean we ignore the responsibilities or relationships of this life. It means we filter everything—every choice, every response, every thought—through a higher lens.

As you reflect on this 30-day journey, know that it’s not the end. It’s the beginning of a renewed, Spirit-led mindset. And the more you set your thoughts on things above, the more heaven shapes your reality here and now.

Because the mind set on Christ is not just at peace—it is anchored in eternal purpose.
