Is your mind in sync with God?

“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. For to be carnally minded (pleasing yourself) is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:5-6

This spiritual truth is an excellent method to judge your walk with God. Do you live to please yourself or live according to the Spirit of God? Where are your thoughts coming from during the day?

What most people cannot understand is the Spirit wants to enrich your life and satisfy all your needs. You don’t have to waste your thoughts and energy on trying to please yourself.

The Spirit of God wants you to come into oneness with Him and allow Him to guide your thoughts and actions throughout your day. This is how you live with God and experience His reality.

I spent most of my life in the field of marketing. This profession is filled with many details, timelines, and priorities. I would start off each day with prayer and commit all my works to God. I knew in my heart God was my best friend and would help me meet all the challenges of life.

I was amazed to see how the Spirit of God organized my work, gave me creativity and insight, and helped me to be successful. He would fill me with His thoughts to help me have a productive day.

I learned very quickly that I would never think of entering my office and starting up my computer without seeking God out ahead for wisdom and strength.

He is a living God and wants to be your helper in all aspects of life. God wants to guide you into safe paths and prevent you from walking into unsafe mine fields or making costly mistakes. His ways are perfect and He wants the very best for you!

If you rely on your own mind and follow your natural passions, this will lead to misery, suffering, and death. The mind not linked to the Spirit cannot please God! You are living and acting opposed to God!

Walking with God through His Spirit will bring life and peace!

Thought for the day: “Lean not to your own understanding. Living apart from My Spirit will bring heartache and failure. I want to be a vibrant and active partner in your life. Set your mind on Me and I will show you the abundant life.”
