Today's scripture from Romans 8:6 spoke so clearly to me: "...the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace." I had never thought about Sarah Young's words about the mind being the "most restless, unruly part of mankind." These two thoughts made me want to make this one of the spiritual disciplines that I am praying to bring into my life and being.
A related scripture passage that has very helpful to me is from Philippians 4:8-9:
8 Finally,
brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Surely by asking for God's Presence in our mind and following this "command," we will have a mind filled with God's Spirit and Peace and Love. I pray that you will join me in this "quest."
A friend just sent me this Easter version of the song, "Hallelujah." Please be patient with the introduction which is the story behind the words to these awesome lyrics; it will be worth it!
