The Mind of God

And now for a practical word. Do you know this mind of heaven, the mind of God? As Christians you have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16), but whether you are displaying it in your everyday life is quite another thing. If I look around upon professing Christians and ask whether they are displaying the mind of heaven, I would have to say that they show anything but that. I see professing Christians seeking their own good things down here, laying up for themselves treasures upon earth, and in no sense waiting for God's Son from heaven.
Let me then ask you, Is the Lamb the center of your heart? This is the mind of heaven. If so, you will not seek your own joys now. You will say that you wait for the Son of God from heaven for your portion. As for trouble, you will not be striving to get out of it. You will take it as a pilgrim does the rough roads on his journey home.
Neither joy nor trouble will occupy the heart that is centered upon Christ. Such in spirit wait for the scene of this chapter to end their sorrows and bring in their joy.
