Greetings sisters!
Another day of hope in our Lord is here! By faith, we wait for Him from heaven and keep occupied in good works He has called us to! We are to keep ourselves unspotted from this world too. It's something that is always in our face so to speak and we have to make many decisions as to where we draw the line of how far we go in it. Of course there's things that are obviously sinful but then other things that could fall into the lusts of the flesh that we need to be careful of too. For example, we need food to survive and thrive, but we all know there is way too much of it in many places in this world. And there are also things that our flesh may enjoy the taste of but it's useless and even damaging to the body which is the temple of the Spirit. So there are things to deny ourselves of. But we thank God for providing our daily food and other needs!
These scriptures come to mind too...
Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!Ecclesiastes 10:17
When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.Proverbs 23:1-3
Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.Proverbs 25:16
His Word is our guide through this world.
I'm sharing a few scriptures on the mind and heart too as they are important parts of us.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.2 Timothy 1:7
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.Proverbs 4:23
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.Romans 8:6
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
James 4:8
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.Acts 17:11
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.Romans 12:2
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:37
For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
2 Corinthians 8:12
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:7
May we have the mind of Christ and have our hearts and minds purified in the truth. Praise God it is possible! He is man's only hope!
Love, mercy, and peace to you, sisters. Be strong and of good courage in our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!
