Put Your Mind To It

Every Christian carries an assignment from God. It may not always be grand in the eyes of the world, but it carries eternal weight. To fulfil it, we must set our minds firmly on what He has called us to do. Distractions will come, obstacles will rise, and doubts will whisper, but a steadfast mind anchored in God’s will brings a breakthrough.

When Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, he faced opposition and ridicule, yet he refused to be swayed. His focus was unshakable because he knew his work was for God. Likewise, when we put our whole mind to the task, it becomes an offering of obedience and love to the Lord.

The Word of God says, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2 NIV). Purpose is strengthened when our minds are fixed on Christ, and through Him every assignment can be completed.
