So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peaceRomans 8:6 NLT
If you don’t change the way you are thinking which may be dragging you down emotionally, then it will change you. Author and Bible teacher Joyce Meyer refers to this as ‘stinking thinking’.
Controlling your thoughts is a discipline. For instance passing judgment on someone in your mind not vocalizing it is wrong. Heard an example on Elevation Church recently say you see people not lifting their hands in worship and think they must not love the Lord. Maybe the individual has rotator cuff problems.
It is essential to keep your mind focused on Christ not the news, not hearsay, not assumptions, not social media, not what an ‘expert’ said was right. Don’t lean on your own understanding as it says in Proverbs 3:5-6 but lean in and on God and try to develop the mind of Christ not the mind of the flesh and this world.
PRAYER: I am indeed feeling blessed just to be alive. Thanks for giving me a brain and help me learn to use it wisely not for evil. Guard my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen!
