THE MIND OF MAN

[King James Version Ministers Bible].

In the Word of God Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength:  this is the first commandment.  (Matthew 22:37)

As we obey God and love Him with all these areas, I believe we are sure to be total overcomers against all the wiles of the enemy.

There is a saying, “The mind is a terrible thing to waste!” Oh how true these words are!  We have to constantly guard our minds with the Word of God to keep it safe from the adversary.  We guard it through study, meditation, praise, worship, and keeping it stayed on the Lord to have His perfect peace.  (Isaiah 26:3)

Keeping the Right Connection!

A few weeks ago, I turned on my device and heard the computer lady state this, but when she said "phone 1 connected", the word "connected" kind of popped out for me.  I immediately thought about my connection with God.  I wondered about my connection and how connected I really am with God.  Am I connected with him throughout the day and talking to Him and praising Him for things that are happening? 

Let me give you a few examples:  

1) am I connected enough to give God some praise when I wake up?

2) am I connected enough to have patience while at work when several staff members call in sick or are arriving late and I have to decide how to continue Rec. Therapy training that day without any cancellations?

3) am I connected enough to have calmness when driving on the interstate and another car does not yield while on the ramp to enter I-85 but they just conveniently slide their car right in front of me?

4) was I connected enough to thank God when He showed my son & me favor at the Verizon store when we walked in with very little time to spend but our favorite salesperson was the next available employee to help us & she took care of business quickly?
