Purity of Mind: Day 15 - Mind Protection
James 1:21
Get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls
Today's chapter asked me to consider what part of my soul I was feeding more regularly, my flesh or my spirit. What do I let permeate my brain day to day, are they things that are God pleasing? Or are the things that still remain from my flesh. The author challenges that the one that gets feed the most frequently grows the most and becomes the strongest. This concept really made me stop and think about which part of my mind I feed most often and to be honest when I really think about it, I think that there are probably days that my spiritual part doesn't get fed at all, but constantly I choose to spend time in front of the telly feeding my flesh with stuff and making it strong. How can I ever expect to be who God calls me to be if I don't actively feed into that part of who I am. I think I need to start purposely spending more time with God, and while this little blog has been helpful and kept me a little more accountable, there still needs to be more, its about more than just a quick devotion at the end of the day...its about the things I watch and the things I read and the things I listen to.
