What’s In Your Head?
"Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober,
set your hope on the grace to be brought to you
when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming."
1 Peter 1: 13
Have you ever been so distracted that you walked into another
room and wondered why you were there? No one likes to
admit
it, but this happens more frequently than people like to
admit.
This world is filled with many things that can “occupy”
our thoughts that we become “preoccupied,” and lose
focus on what we're doing and Who is really important.
What's in your head? What occupies your thoughts?
What do you think about most? Peter told us to keep
our minds alert and sober, and occupy our
thoughts
with the coming hope offered by Lord Jesus
Christ.
Instead of letting troubles and temptations dominate
our thinking, we should learn to push those
thoughts
out with the truths of Scripture.
Colossians 3:2-4 says, “Set your mind on things above, not
on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is
hidden
with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life
appears,
then you also will appear with Him in
glory.”
"Begin the practice of reverent
meditation on the being of God."
