The world wants to make us into its image. The cares and pleasures of this life demand our hearts' devotion. We are always in the process of being transformed.

In his revised devotional work, Kris Lundgaard invites us to forsake unfulfilling idols and set our hearts on adoring Christ instead.

By seeking those things above, where Christ is, we can have hope in all circumstances, know contentment in any situation, and enjoy deep communion with God that makes life worth living.
