Tues Devo: Firm on a Foundation, Part 3

Hello,

I wanted to spend one final week on this topic of a firm foundation. A critical piece of the foundation that we haven’t gone into is the mental side. I can’t even count how many times I have heard people talk about getting old and being more concerned with having a sharp mind than a physically fit body. We understand the importance of having mental acuity and sharpness. Keeping our mind in the right spot is a key element of a firm foundation. Without it, we are prone to attacks that begin to make us doubt our foundation – and that un-surety will render us less useful for the cause of Christ.

So, how do we keep our mental side where it needs to be? Try Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” (NASB)

Dwell on the right kind of things – find the things and people that help put those types of thoughts in the forefront of your brain.

Have a blessed day,
