Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8
Have you ever felt left out, hurt, envious, or like you were playing second fiddle? Normally it occurs when your mind is on the flesh not the spirit. When the mind screams out “you deserve this” and then your mind goes off on its’ rampage counting up scenarios that can wreak havoc and wreck relationships if not held at bay.
Maybe you think you have this licked then you discovered you were left out of something or get hurt by an apparent snub that may not be a snub at all. Get your mind settled on things above and don’t let your thoughts go crazy.
To live a life of peace this area of a settled mind has to be foremost in a fruit of the spirit. Don’t allow the enemy to rob you of peace by getting you stirred up and hurt like a little child. Get settled in your mind and spirit that jealousy will not control you. Let it go.
PRAYER: Forever your word is settled in heaven and I want to let your peace permeate my very being. Help me recognize when I am starting to stray into enemy territory and tell Satan he can not steal my contentment and peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Such good advice. When we have our hearts set on things above, we learn NOT to let the actions of others dictate how we feel. Peace and blessings to you.
