Title: Manage your mindset!

-

"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6"
Devotion : The natural/carnal mindset ends in death or is short-lived. To be carnally minded or to have a natural mindset is to be led by the five natural senses of the body, that is, the sense of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch/feel. These are the people who are concerned about only what will gratify the body. In other words, they are only concerned about what to eat, wear, and live by whatever they see, hear, or feel: they are not concerned about their spiritual needs.
 On the other hand, those who are spiritually minded or have the heavenly mindset have prioritized their spiritual needs above everything else: they live by the Word of God. These are God's children who give priority to the study of the Holy Scriptures, prayer, fellowship, righteousness, brotherly love, faith, hope, worship, and praise; these activities can only produce life and peace. Hallelujah!
 As children of God, they prioritize spiritual growth while also attending to their physical needs. They engage in lawful work to earn a living and enjoy an abundant life, using their wealth to glorify God by supporting the vulnerable and poor. While living a natural life, they strike a balance by keeping their eternal home in mind and preparing for it daily. They embrace the Golden Rule, loving others as they would like to be loved, and enthusiastically study and share the scriptures, spreading the Good News of Christ to all.
 Dearly beloved, have you developed your spiritual mindset? The choice is yours! Share your thoughts here!

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
