Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Romans 8:5-7 (NIV)
What are you allowing into your mind? Are you being governed by your flesh or by God’s Spirit?
It is important to be mindful of what you allow into your mind and the motivation behind it. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by God’s Spirit is life and peace.
Are those things you are allowing in life affirming, uplifting, and in alignment with God’s truth? Do they inspire you, motivate you, uplift you, encourage you, give you joy, result in peace?
Consider what you are letting into your mind. We are encouraged by Paul to be mindful.
