SOUND MIND
2 Timothy 1:1-7
Devotional- “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (V. 7)
A major virtue of creation that God has given to us is our mind. The word of God says as a man thinks so his life will be (Proverbs 23:7). Which means, your mind is a creative force. People need to know that the moment their mind and your mouth is going the different ways it will not stand. The two will have to agree to bring forth something good for you (Ephesians 3:20)
That is why the word of God says, God has not given us the spirit to fear but of love, of power and of sound mind. This is a mind that is not confused. This is a mind that is calmed and well balanced in reasoning and deciding. This is a mind that is able to discipline itself and control itself to do what is right. The Bible says this mind is a product of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9-16). And this is a mind that is capable of aiding us to create our success.
There is a need for our mind to be positive to be able to create a good life. You need to expose your mind to the word of God, so that, it can aid you to create a better tomorrow that God design for you. When a mind is influenced by the Spirit of God it will be positive. If your heart believes life must be hard, it will be so. If your heart believes you can't get money, it will be so. Your result is a product of your mind. Sound mind is a mind of faith. This is what determines all that happens to you on earth (Ephesians 3:20). Peace
PRAYER: Lord, give me the Holy Spirit influenced mind.
“A SOUND MIND IS THE ONE THAT CANNOT BE CORRUPTED”
