Getting Your Mind Right: Spirit vs Flesh Mindset

So lately I’ve been struggling with what I would call, “getting my mind right”. I think I allowed this year, this election, this environment to slowly sneak up on me, without me knowing it and messing with my mind. Just this week I made the decision (and the phone call) to get rid of TV. I literally ditched the dish and all the garbage it delivered. I made the conscious decision to “flush” all negative news media, Fox included, down the drain. This was step one and it’s already working. My mind was centered on the wrong things, things of the flesh and of this world. I was in the wrong place. Maybe you are now?“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.”Romans 8:5-7 Mental health is especially challenging in these times. How we think impacts who we are becoming, daily. According to God’s Word, there are two mindsets in which we can choose to operate; the mindset that operates according to the flesh and the mindset that operates according to the Spirit. As Christians, our mindset should be led according to the Spirit, but if we were able to do that on our own, we would have done it already. We need the Holy Spirit to help us align our mindset to the truth of God’s Word. Culture can try to change our mindset, but when we ask God to help us, our mindset is framed with strength from Heaven and protected.Ask yourself today if you are living accord I got to the flesh or the spirit. Be honest, the answer may surprise you...Be Nice, Grace Wins
