Set Your Mind Right

What is your mind set upon? What are you often thinking of? Is your mind focused on the Spirit, on life and peace? Is your mind set upon eternity?
We can set our minds on material things or on the our fleshly desires, or we can set our minds on eternity and the things of the Spirit.
The Apostle Paul wrote the church in Rome instructing them on where they should focus their minds, saying, “For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” (Romans 8:6, ESV).
If we set our minds on the sin nature it leads to death, but when we set our minds on the Spirit, it leads to life and peace.
May we set our minds upon the Spirit and enjoy God’s life and peace.
A Collect for Endurance: “Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the Cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
