Having The Right Mindset (2)

"We take captive every thought to make it
obedient to Christ." 2Co 10:5 NIV
How would you describe yourself? Are you naturally
positive, or negative? Are your decisions driven by
faith in God, or by the fear of failure, rejection, or
lack? Do you feel good about yourself, or do you put
yourself down and feel like a loser? Whatever your
answer may be, this much is certain: The patterns
and attitudes that rule your life were not formed
overnight-so don't expect an overnight cure. But
you can make a start by obeying this Scripture: "Set
your minds and keep them set on what is above (the
higher things)" (Col 3:2 AMPC). The Bible refers to
the Christian life as a "walk." "Walk worthy of the
vocation wherewith ye are called" (Eph 4:1). "We
walk by faith, not by sight" (2Co 5:7 NKJV). "Let us
also walk in the Spirit" (Gal 5:25). "Walk in love"
(Eph 5:2). Notice, walking is the slowest mode of
transportation there is! God doesn't invite you to fly
with Him but to walk with Him. Just put one foot in
front of the other and keep walking day by day.
When are we most apt to slip and fall? (1) When we
are learning to walk. (2) When we are in
circumstances we didn't create and over which we
have no control, such as ice and snow. (3) When we
feel drained, tired, and weak. (4) When we get
careless and don't keep our eyes open and stay
focused. Your challenge is twofold: adopting the
right mindset and maintaining it. And if you seek
God faithfully, He will help vou to do both these
things successfully.
