Ever wonder why you are able to conquer some battles but fail miserably at battles of lesser severity and importance? Do you ever feel like it is impossible not to think of drugs, money, sex, etc.? Or, have you ever tried to think positively about yourself or someone else, but to no avail? Perhaps you have not mastered your mind.
The Bible teaches that the heart is the mind and vice versa (Prov. 23:7). It informs us that the mind is the seat of our intentions and emotions (Matt. 15:18-19). Thus, we must be careful what we put into our minds, and who/what we allow to rule our minds. As the old adage states, "the mind is a terrible thing to waste." So, why waste it? Master your mind by giving it over to Jesus (Phil. 4:8).
