Where's Your Mind?

1/23/2016

"Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.  The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." -Romans 8:5-6 (NIV)
While there may not be any scientific evidence to support the theory, it seems as though the full moon affects students' ability to focus and keep it together in middle school.  During the week of a full moon, students often seem restless and unfocused.  It may be my perception as a teacher, but students' minds during a full moon seem to drift away from where they are supposed to be focused!

In our spiritual lives, our minds can sometimes drift, too.  We can be distracted by earthly problems or triumphs.  We can allow our minds to focus on earthly desires instead of on heavenly desires.  While we may try to find an excuse, like the full moon, we need to take action to regain the proper focus!  Through studying God's Word, talking to God, and reflecting on our lives, we can be better prepared to follow God's path for our lives and to maintain our mind's focus on Him!

Don't let your mind drift away from God.  Be sure to keep it focused on Him!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me, even when my mind may drift to earthly desires.  Please help me to keep my mind focused on You and help me to continue to move in the path You have established for me.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
