Heavenly Things

We’ve all heard the expression “his mind is in the gutter”.
That means that no matter what is said, someone will take
what you say and twist it into the most gross or debased
thought. Every comment becomes a sexual innuendo. When you come to the Lord, it
still isn’t natural to “seek those things that are above”. When you accept the Lord, you
do indeed have the Holy Spirit of God living within you, but YOU HAVE TO MAKE A
CHOICE as to where you will direct your thoughts.
This is not automatic. It takes focus, and it takes discipline. Again, it’s not a white-
knuckled kind of focus, but nevertheless, it is focus. Everyone knows what I’m talking
about if you’ve ever decided to focus and pray about this or that. You begin praying for
your friend’s hospital visit, and the next thing you know, you’re making a “to do” list.
Jesus asked His disciples to pray, and when He returned, they were all asleep.
