Where to Set Your Mind
Play: Tell your children to draw a circle. Tell them to color part of the circle to represent how much time they spend thinking about things that happen here on earth (things at school, friends, their toys, etc.) with one color and tell them to color another part with the amount of time that they think about things of God (helping others, praying to Jesus, reading their Bible, etc.) with another color.
Relay: What part of the circle is colored in the most? God tells us in Colossians 3:2 that we are to set our minds on things above, not on earthly things. That means that we are to stay focused on things about God instead of being concerned with what goes on here on earth. We are to do this because God is to have first place in our hearts and what we think about is what typically has our hearts.
Obey:
Is it easy or hard to stay focused on God? Why or why not?
Why is important to stay focused on God?
What can you do to become better at setting your mind on things above?
Pray: Ask God to help you keep your thoughts on Him.
Scripture of the Day: Colossians 3:2
