The Change Journey verse for today is Colossians 3:2, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”
For the thoughts on this verse, I will quote from Matthew Henry’s Commentary. He just says it so well.
“’Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth.’
“Observe, To seek heavenly things is to set our affections upon them, to love them and let our desires be towards them. Upon the wings of affection the heart soars upwards, and is carried forth towards spiritual and divine objects. We must acquaint ourselves with them, esteem them above all other things, and lay out ourselves in preparation for the enjoyment of them… This is to be spiritually minded… and to seek and desire a better country, that is, a heavenly. (See Heb. 11:14,16)
“Things on earth are here set in opposition to things above. We must not dote upon them, nor expect too much from them, that we may set our affections on heaven; for heaven and earth are contrary one to the other, and a supreme regard to both is inconsistent; and the prevalence of our affection to one will proportionably weaken and abate our affection to the other.”
“They that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country… they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” (Hebrews 11:14&16)
