When we immerse ourselves in Christ, we drastically change positions.
We go from striving with the world to being seated with Christ.
While the world is consumed with meeting needs, building reputations, and storing up wealth, we take our position of rest as we set our gaze on the realities of where Christ is—seated... SEATED at the right hand of God.
This heavenly position cannot be earned. It cannot be accessed through our works. There is no amount of prayer or Bible study that will get you there.
Once your faith is in Christ, there is only one thing standing between you and the realities of heaven: your thoughts.
It is required of us to focus and fix our thoughts on heavenly realities, not the distractions of this natural realm.
We must consider ourselves dead to the world. We don't do things their way any longer. We don't have the same list of priorities.
Rather, our new life is hidden away with Christ in God. We are seated with Him in heavenly places.
The world will never understand. It's a secret place reserved for those who have positioned themselves in Christ—a place of rest, peace, and joy, no matter what is going on around us.
If you are worried or troubled, your thoughts are focused on the wrong thing. Quit looking around and look up.
