MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️:
“For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace.” Romans 8:6
Well, that’s pretty cut and dry.
And yet.
We somehow believe that setting our mind on self and focusing on circumstances and staying in our heads will bring us peace.
That is a big fat lie.
But setting our mind on the SPIRIT is life and peace. The two things it seems that most are searching for on the daily.
The flesh is tangible, grab hold-able, something we think we have control of. Because it is real and right in front of our faces 24/7, we believe it is in the lead and should be our focus.
The spirit is ethereal, it seems out “there” somewhere (it’s not). Wispy. Perhaps, for some, it seems not even really existent (it is).
As one who has set her mind on both…I can 100% testify that focus on flesh brings death and focus on spirit brings life.
We MUST switch our focus.
What we focus on and SET our minds on becomes our mind-set.

P.S. go and read ALL of Romans 8 … and for a real treat, read it in The Message. I think I will go read it again right now.
