Set Your Mind on What is Good
The world today has so many distractions, we can hardly focus on one thing at a time. So many things demand our attention. Yet, what we set our minds on is so important. In Romans, Paul tells us that "The mind set on the flesh is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Romans 8:7 (NIV)
Popular media, images from television, advertising messages, conversation of friends and family, everywhere we go, we are bombarded with messages to get our attention focused on cares of today, worldly goals, and fleshly desires. Yet, the Bible tells us that if our mind is focused on the flesh, it is not possible to submit to God's law. This reminds us to be careful with what we television images, what media messages, what information we allow into our minds. If we practice focusing on God and all that is good, our minds will be ready and able to submit to God's will.
