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, the things of the Spirit.
Romans 8:5, Reading: Romans 8:1-11
Our mind is the barometer of our soul. If your mind is filled with lustful fantasies, ambitious schemes, bitter memories, or anxious worries, it’s a sign you are focused on “the things of the flesh.” The Bible tells us to set our mind on the things of the Spirit, which means reading the Bible and meditating about the Lord Jesus.
Scripture memory and biblical meditation are therapeutic. It’s not necessary to memorize a Bible verse to meditate on it. But diligent Christians come across certain passages that are so life-transforming they must be written on the tablets of the heart.
Romans 8 is full of such verses, including the promise in verse 28 about God working all things for our good. Try finding a Bible verse, repeating it several times a day, writing it on sticky notes, and learning it. Train your mind to focus on the things of the Spirit, for He keeps those in perfect peace whose minds are stayed on Him.
May the mind of Christ, my Savior, live in me from day to day.
