Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:2
“I cannot imagine how religious persons can live satisfied without the practice of the presence of God. For my part I keep myself retired with Him in the depth of centre of my soul as much as I can; and while I am so with Him I fear nothing; but the least turning from Him is insupportable.
This exercise does not much fatigue the body: it is, however, proper to deprive it sometimes, nay often, of many little pleasures which are innocent and lawful: for God will not permit that a soul which desires to be devoted entirely to Him should take other pleasures than with Him; that is more than reasonable.
I do not say that therefore we must put any violent constraint upon ourselves. No, we must serve God in a holy freedom, we must do our business faithfully, without trouble or disquiet; recalling our mind to God mildly and with tranquillity, as often as we find it wandering from Him.”
Brother Lawrence (c. 1614-1691) in The Practice of the Presence of God: The Best Rule of Holy Life (Grand Rapids: CCEL) 23.
It’s common in modern times for automakers to do a recall. They want the cars back to make something right. Maybe it is replacing an airbag or some other part. In the same way we need to recall our minds to God. If any part is focused on anything other than God we will not “live satisfied” and we are on a path that is “insupportable.”
Everybody is worried about COVID and what to do in the next 2-3 months or years. I think we should be more concerned about the next 2-3 million years. When we live in light of eternity, the “little pleasures” are less distracting. What distracts you? Identify it. That way, when it gets your attention and grips your affection, you can recall your mind to God.
