We easily fall into the snare of temptation when our minds are inclined to sin. The body will always act in a way that resembles the inclinations of the mind. Whatever you open your mind to, changes your perspective in life, either for good or bad. Therefore, feed your mind with the right stuff if you want to create the right environment for your mind. It is the environment of our minds that determines the response of our bodies during temptation.
Today, I want to let you know that you do not have to lose the battle for your mind! You do not have to be defeated in your walk with the Lord. You do not have to live a life controlled by the lusts and desires of the carnal nature flesh! You can live your life under the control of the Spirit of God. You can win the battle.
The question is how. Well, thanks for asking. Colossians 3:2 tells us to elevate our affections towards heavenly things. I challenge you today in the midst of all temptation all around you to elevate your mind to the things above and not the things below.
Prayer For Today
Father in heaven, thank you for your love and mercy. Thank you for choosing to speak to me. I receive your Word and invite you to occupy every area of my mind. Fill me with your Holy Spirit that I may learn to overcome the battle in my mind. In Jesus' Name, Amen
"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2
