More COVID-19 worries

A few years ago, on a rainy, cold, nasty day, my wife, daughter, and I were preparing for a trip we had been planning for a while. Our flight took off in a few hours, and though we were really looking forward to the trip, the dismal weather we were currently experiencing wasn’t helping our attitudes nor our countenance. We finished packing our bags, loaded the car, and left for the airport. We checked in, went through security and got to our flight waiting area, still watching through the large windows as the dark clouds kept moving in, threateningly. We boarded our plane, found our seats, and buckled in, me by the window seat. The plane took off and it didn’t take long to fly up through the dark grey clouds, which changed quickly as we burst through white, puffy cumulus clouds, to bright sunlight and a beautiful blue sky.

Had the weather changed? No, just the location from which we experienced it; from below the clouds, to above them. A matter of perspective.

In Colossians 3:1, Paul tells us to keep our eyes focused on things above, not on earthly things.

Question:
What can you do today to keep your eyes focused on God, not your surroundings, and circumstances?
