Romans 8:5, NIV
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. Romans 8:5, NIV What are the things that you focus on? What are your concerns in life? Is it about the desires of your flesh? Or the important things that your spirit needs?

Acts 3:16, NIV
By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes thought him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

Your Thoughts Don’t always Speak about the Truth
You are not your thoughts. Not everything that enters your mind reflects your true identity. So learn the habit of evaluating your judgments before you make any conclusions. Listen first and ask God if what you are thinking is aligned with His principles. Do not rely on your own understanding. It’s better to consult Him first than do things that you will regret in the end. Learn to confirm your ideas according to what’s written in the bible. Fill your mind with God’s words so that you’ll always be aligned and guided. Beware! Your thoughts will eventually shape your decisions and your life. So be more conscious and careful. Keep…

Day 206 – Matthew 22:37
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:37, NIV This is not a suggestion or a piece of advice from Jesus. It is a command that we need to follow. An expert of the law asked our Savior about the greatest commandment, and this is what He answered. We are meant to love God not just according to our emotions, but we must do it with all our heart, soul, and mind. Try to evaluate the things that are going on inside. Can you find God there? If you love someone, you can’t help but…
