SCRIPTURE: Hebrews (NIV) 3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
OBSERVATION: The Bible does not tell us how to feel but often tells us how to think. Our spiritual battles are often in our mind. We are to fix our thoughts on Jesus. We are to consider what He feels or thinks about what we are doing.
Since, Jesus, by the person of the Holy Spirit has made our lives His permanent home, He is always available for us to talk to Him. He wants you to know that He does not consider your question as an interruption! Living in you, He has time for you.
APPLICATION: I am not to just try to think about Jesus, I am commanded to think about Jesus. I am to make a choice to think about Jesus. 1Peter 1:13 tells me to prepare my mind for action. Instead of letting circumstances crowd Jesus out of my thinking, I want my mind to be filled with an awareness of His Presence and what He would do in my current circumstances.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, keep reminding me today of how I am to be thinking. Guide me in taking proper steps to only think thoughts that would please you. You dwell in my heart and with my thoughts. Forgive me for allowing thoughts that make you uncomfortable. Amen
