Devotion to Things Holy
Success is any field is costly, but the man who will pay the price can have it.

The concert pianist must become a slave to his instrument; four hours, five hours each day he must sit at the keyboard. The scientist must live for his work. The philosopher must devote himself to thought, the scholar to his books. The price may seem excessively heavy, but there are some who consider the reward worthwhile.

The laws of success operate also in the higher field of the soul--spiritual greatness has its price. Eminence in the things of the Spirit demands a devotion to these things more complete than most of us are willing to give. But the law cannot be escaped. If we would be holy we know the way; the law of holy living is before us. The prophets of the Old Testament, the apostles of the New and, more than all, the sublime teachings of Christ are there to tell us how to succeed.

Verse
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Colossians 3:2

Thought
Our minds are so much set on things earthly and so little on things above. To grow in Christ as God desires demands on our part priority time and devotion to things holy.

Prayer
Lord, I don't want to just float along. I want to grow and I have so much growing to do.
