The Affections to be Habitually Heavenward
Colossians 3:2
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.


After painting the Sistine ceiling, Michael Angelo found that the habit of looking upward, which that long-continued work rendered necessary, made it for some time impossible to read or to look carefully at a drawing except in the same attitude. So our converse with heaven should affect our attitude in looking at the things of earth.

(T. F. B. Tinling, B. A.)
