Philippians 3:17-21

Philippians 3:17-21

  There are so many opportunities to choose where we'll set our minds.  Paul speaks of people who set their minds on their bellies, focusing on what they take in, focusing on earthly things.  They miss out on the glories of heaven.
  We're told that if we set our hearts on heaven, we get earth thrown in, because we experience the peace that is possible through knowing God.  When we walk according to this path, we walk with confidence -- even if the world around us seems to be falling away, we are at peace, because we know the treasures of the Kingdom of God are with us.  
  We are being transformed, every day.  We can choose to let our minds be led by Christ's, to join with the work Christ is doing, or to set our minds on earthly things and miss out on the glories God is doing around us.
