Our Minds — Part 1
How busy our minds are with so many things…school, work, recreation fun, and on and on. Satan also has a host of activity and corruption available at our fingertips. But how busy are our minds with God’s thoughts, His Word — the Bible — and the Lord Jesus Christ?
Here are some exhortations that are good for us to take to heart:
“Have your mindon the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth” (Colossians 3:2 JND Translation).
“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 onthese things” (Philippians 4:8).
What these verses are really saying is that we need to be occupied with the person and work of Christ, and occupied with the Lord Jesus where He is now, a glorified man in heaven at the right hand of God. This is what will feed, encourage, and edify our souls.
