A Little Bit of Faith: : Stay Focused on Spiritual Things

If you are having a difficult time keeping your mind steadfast on spiritual things, you are not alone. Most people find it difficult or nearly impossible to do. However, the Bible suggests that a person who is spiritually minded will have peace and life. In the book of Romans it says, “To be spiritually minded is life and peace” (Romans
8:6).

When we learn how to delight ourselves in the Word of God, then we are moving in the right direction. Once we learn how to find joy in scripture, we begin to live a spirit-filled controlled life. This means that we are not allowing our thoughts to control us; rather we are controlling our thoughts. By allowing the scripture to work in our being, we are allowing the Holy Spirit to move in us.

Our character is molded by the things we do. Thus, staying focused on the Word of God will help us to stay focused on our Heavenly Father. Righteousness that is deep in our hearts will also produce strong character in us. As we move through this week, let us be reminded that we are to keep our minds focused on spiritual things. Can you do that this week? I know I will try. Amen. Amen
