It is easy to become consumed with what is right in front of us. Our daily responsibilities, our goals, our struggles—they can take up so much of our attention that we lose sight of the bigger picture. But as believers, we are called to live with an eternal perspective. In Colossians, chapter 3, verse 2, we are told:
“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
This does not mean that what we experience here does not matter. It means that it is not the final story. When we focus only on the temporary, we can become discouraged when things don’t go our way. We may place too much value on things that do not last—success, possessions, or approval from others. But when we shift our focus to eternity, everything changes. We begin to see our lives differently. Our priorities shift. What once seemed so important may begin to lose its grip on us. Living with an eternal perspective helps us navigate both success and struggle with a greater sense of purpose. It reminds us that this life is not all there is. So I encourage you to lift your eyes, to look beyond what is temporary and fix your attention on what is eternal.

When we live with eternity in mind, we begin to invest in what truly matters. Let us not become so focused on the temporary that we lose sight of the eternal. Our hope, our purpose, and our future are found in God.
