Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 28th November 2025 (Friday) Message
TOPIC: Set Your Mind and Keep It Set
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. — Colossians 3:2 (AMPC)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
In today’s scripture, the apostle Paul gives us valuable instruction about our thinking. He clearly tells us to think about things that are important to God (“the higher things”) and that doing so will always fill our minds with good thoughts.

“Setting” your mind is probably one of the greatest and most beneficial things you can learn to do. To set your mind means to make up your mind firmly. Wet concrete can be moved with ease and is very impressionable before it dries or sets. But once it does set, it is in place for good. It cannot be easily molded or changed.
The same principle that applies to concrete applies to set- ting your mind. To set your mind is to determine decisively what you will think, what you believe, and what you will or will not do—and to set it in such a way that you cannot be easily swayed or persuaded otherwise. Once you set your mind according to the truth of God’s principles for a good life, you need to keep it set and not allow outside forces to reshape your thinking. Setting your mind does not mean being narrow- minded and stubborn. We should always be open to learning, growing, and changing, but we must consistently resist the temptation to conform our thoughts to the world and its ideas.
To set your mind on things above means to be firm in your decision to agree with God’s ways of living, no matter who may try to convince you that you are wrong.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me set my mind firmly on Your truth. Keep me steady in my thoughts, open to growth, and resistant to anything that pulls me away from You, amen.
