Mind
4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:4-6
Where is your mind during the day? Does it move from idea to idea, with thoughts that you can make a difference in today's world? Or, does it move from idea to doubt to where the enemy sneaks in and talks to you about how you are not worth it and neither is anyone else. The enemy is strong but scripture is stronger. This set of verses focuses on the endurance that we face through the teaching of the scriptures. This typically ends with hope, and you know that the enemy doesn't do well with hope, because God surrounds those with hope in their life. We need to remember to pick up those around us and give us hope in the path that we have before us. Have endurance and have hope to defeat those thoughts from the enemy.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
