Mind Set

Living a life for Christ can be... well... difficult. if you don't have the right mind set.

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. -Romans 8:5

Living in the world it's hard not to have a desire for earthly things. But we have to realize that we are more than that. We are eternal beings designed to live with God.

You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. -Romans 8:9-11

Look to Christ for guidance and change your mindset to what is important, not just for today, but for eternity.

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. -Matthew 6:19-20

Change your mind? Change your mind set.

Press On.

Fight the good fight, as a Soldier for Christ.
