WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

 
Romans 8:6
 
"For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace." ESV 
 
In this world of today, it is so very hard to stay focused on the things of God. We can commit to keeping our minds on Him and to be sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. If we really want to know His will, He will reveal it to us and will help us stay focused on it. That is when we will find real life and peace.
 
Heavenly Father, forgive us for getting distracted by the noise and clamor of this world. Forgive us for following our own desires. We are hungry to know Your will for us and believe You will show us. Help us to be pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

LISTEN UP!

 
 
 
 
Hebrews 2:1

 

"Therefore, we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it." ESV

 

The Gospel message of Jesus Christ is of such infinite importance to our eternal future, that it should be in the very front of our minds and continually the deepest concern for us. There are many things in this world to distract us from this most important message. If we consider the glory and dignity of the One who gave us this message of eternal life, we will make every effort to keep our hearts and minds from getting side tracked.

 

Heavenly Father, when we consider what You did for us on the cross, we bow in humility that we let the world and its' concerns pull us away from the most important concern. Increase our faith and awareness of the message of eternal life You freely gave us, so that we will not drift from it, but will carry it wherever we go and share it with others. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

MIND FOCUS

 
Colossians 3:2


"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." NIV


"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." KJV


As Christians it is easy to understand that focusing our minds on earthly things will soon bring us disappointment and sorrow. Staying focused on the things of God will always keep our hearts at peace and joy because the things of God are eternal. The problem is the forces at work in this world keep distracting us and we tend to let our minds get stuck on the things of this world. If we wake up giving the Lord our day and ask Him to help us stay focused on Him, we will find our lives are more content and happy.


Heavenly Father, we are sorry that we allow the world to draw our attention away from You. Help us through the power of the Holy Spirit to keep our minds focused on the eternal things of Your kingdom and not the degenerating things of this world. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
