"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth." (Col. 3:2) "...Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame; who set their mind on earthly things." (Phil. 3:19)

Take a look around where you are sitting and find five things that have blue in them. Go ahead and do it. With a "blue" mindset, you'll find that blue jumps out at you: a blue book on the table, a blue pillow on the couch, blue in the painting on the wall, and so on. In like fashion, you've probably noticed that after you buy a new car, you promptly see that make of car everywhere. That's because people find what they are looking for. (From A Kick in the Seat of the Pants, by Roger Von Oech)

At times in our lives, the spiritual things seem strangely absent, but not because they no longer exist. We simply have become preoccupied with other things. When we develop our sensitivity toward spiritual things, our lives will be more spiritual.
