MADE UP MIND

Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

The BRAIN is the wonderful, complex organ in the human body. It is the “Central Command Center” of all decisions, actions and even determines our personality.  When the alarm clock sounded this morning, an electrical impulse was stimulated in your brain that was sent to your eyelids and they opened.  Isn’t that awesome…think about it!

Our MIND is the part of the BRAIN over which we have control.  We cannot always control what the eye or ear transfers to the brain but our MIND can control what we do with the information and the actions that follow.  The devil DIDN’T make you do it, you decided that action in your MIND and followed through.

As I start on week 10 of my journey toward good health, I am amazed; it has become perfectly clear what a MADE-UP MIND can accomplish.  Once your mind conquers all the obstacles of desire that have built up over the years, that which seems impossible becomes a reality.  It really is, ALL IN YOUR MIND!

James 1:8 He is a double minded man, unstable in all his ways.

God, who created your BRAIN, gave you the free-will, which is your MIND, totally understands the power for good or evil that you possess. If you decide to “straddle the fence of life” you will end up with unfulfilled dreams, wasted gifts and a frustrated existence…an UNSTABLE human being.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND; begin with the first commandment,

Mark 12:30  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

This is the first commandment. And when life comes to its final stage, you can say,

Isaiah 50:7 “For the Lord God will help Me; therefore I will not be disgraced; therefore I have set MY FACE LIKE A FLINT and I know that I will not be ashamed.”
