Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Colossians 3:2
Why does God tell us to set our affections ABOVE? Because He knows – He really/truly knows – that any affections we have on the earth can be used by the devil to make you question and turn on God. The devil will use anything he can to get you to believe his lies. Once he has tricked you into believing his lies, it’s harder to turn back to God’s Truth. Satan knows this. When God tells us to trust in Him with all our heart, He does so because He knows we can trust Him, that He won’t let us down, and that trusting Him with all our heart protects us against any lies of the enemy that try to tempt us into not trusting God – It was true in the fall in the garden of Eden. There is such a huge blessing in store for those who choose to trust God with everything – with all their heart (affections).
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1 Timothy 6:6
Be still (Trust Me), and know (and you’ll find out) that I am God:
Psalm 46:10a
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
Colossians 3:15a
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:24
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
