How many have asked someone else or yourself: “What is on your mind?” Or we say to someone else: “I will give you peace of mind.”
We must win the battle in our minds. What we think about is paramount to the actions, behaviors, and choices we make in life.
Romans 8:5-6; “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.”
What are we feeding our minds? What are we thinking about? If we think about the flesh we lose! If we think about sin, we will sin! If we think about negative things, we will become negative.
But if we think about the Lord, the Word of God, faith in Jesus, living in the Spirit, and filling our minds with the promises of God, this will result in life and peace.
I heard this statement: GIGO: Garbage In – Garbage Out! Or God in – God Out!
Help me win the battle of the mind today!
