Setting our minds on things above...

Hi family and friends...
Have you ever tried to think about 2 things at the same time?
A passage from the Scriptures and the items on the shopping list you made a while back?
It's difficult!!
The Bible says....
**" Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—
think about such things." (Philippians 4:8)
So if we are thinking about things that are noble, true and pure, there's no way we can be thinking about stuff that's not of God, false or dirty.
Our God tests our mind and when we keep our mind pure God will reward us.
**Jeremiah 17:10 "I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings."
If our mind is stayed on Christ we will enjoy perfect peace.
**Isaiah 26:3 "You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You,Because he trusts in You."
So...let's.. "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth." Colossians 3:2
He renews our mind...
**Ephesians 4:23 "and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness."
May the Lord sanctify us through and through. May He renew and refresh our minds...
**1 Corinthians 2:16 "For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ."
Be Blessed...
