EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Is your helmet on?
“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:17)
Wow, through these past weeks and two months with holidays, a major move, and health issues, my life has been so busy! According to the National Science Foundation, my brain produced as many as 60,000 thoughts per day. I think I’ve been on overload with double that amount! How much of it was actually productive?
The report continues to say the majority of these thoughts are nonsense. We dwell on past and future, anxiety and fantasy, negativity, and the list goes on.
Our minds need protection! We need a helmet. What kind?
The Jesus kind!
Jesus protects us from any thoughts that try to penetrate our heads when we have a solid relationship with Him. He keeps our minds focused on what matters most and thank God for that!
Through studies of God’s Word, we learn to think like Him, align our thoughts and hearts with His, and begin to take on a whole new mindset.
“Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5)
When you spend time with Jesus and in the Word of God each day, you begin to take on the newness of Christ living within you. It’s a transformation that others will notice and one that you can never go wrong with. Say goodbye to bad thinking taking over and refresh your mind with the newness of life that God tells us of through the word.
