KEEP WATCHING THE SKY'S

Colossians 3: 1 – 13
The title of this teaching is taken from the last line of the classic movie “The Thing”. The movie is a classic parable about the dangers of the spread of Communism.
But if we tweak the meaning just a teensy bit, it can be used to help to remind us to keep our eyes on the higher places of heaven and not focusing our attention on the earthly desires that we have.
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
When we try to imagine the immensity of God’s heavens, our problems indeed seem trivial. Yet God doesn’t think so! With all the galaxies He has to attend to, God is mindful of us. And not only are we on His mind, He cares for us.
It is no wonder the apostle Paul advises us as new believers to set their minds on things above. In doing so, we raise our thoughts above the level of earthly disputes and focus instead on our loving, heavenly Father, who wants us to know Him, to know how to live peacefully with one another, and to know that we can live eternally with Him in a place even more beautiful than the heavens.
A poem written thousands of years ago still rings true: “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” (Ps. 8:3-4).
we truly serve an immense and awesome God one who can multi task with the best of them, well I guess he would be the best at it after all he is God, and to think that with all that he has on his plate, he still chooses to care for us not as a group, but, as individuals. The children's song goes; “Jesus loves me this I know, 'cause the Bible tells me so”.
God loves me.
And because of this fact, I will keep watching the sky's.
