What is on your mind today? Without question, a lot of things compete to fill our thoughts! Worries, activities, deadlines, and people compete for first place in our minds!
Every day I am becoming more aware that Christ must fill my mind - and when He does, the worries, activities, deadlines, and people take on a different and better perspective. There is no solution to worry apart from setting our minds and affections on Christ! There is no solution to people problems and challenges apart from a Christ ordained and ordered approach.
Think about these scriptures:
Romans12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Philippians 2:5-7 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
Colossians 3:2-3 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
Romans 15:5-6
5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
