TRUE RELIGION
"Pure religion and undefiled before God
And the Father is this, To visit the fatherless
And widows in their affliction, and to keep
Himself unspotted from the world"
James 1:27
What’s on your mind today? Fame? Fortune? Ambition? Appetite? Success? The list of possibilities ¡s endless, particularly in today’s society. With so many things competing for our attention, it’s easy to lose our focus. It takes a disciplined mind to keep our train of thought, whatever the subject might be.
But what’s on your mind, today? Today is the only day that really matters. The United Negro College Fund reminds us that a mind is “a terrible thing to waste”. What’s on your mind to a large extent determines not only where you’re at, but more importantly, where you’re going.
Is Christ on your mind, today? The Prophet Isaiah says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee...” (Isaiah 26.3). I woke up this morning with my mind, ‘stayed on Jesus’. When Christ occupies our thoughts, our minds are filled with the good things of God. Think about Jesus. Think about God.
Because He Lives,
