Tues Devo: The mental game

1 Peter 1:13 “Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (NASB)

Hello,

We hear and say constantly things/phrases related to mental preparation or mental state heading into a meeting, big day, sporting event etc. If your mind isn’t focused on what you need to do – you will not have success to the greatest degree possible. The daily spiritual battle is no different. We must be ready mentally for action – we don’t get a choice as to whether we will battle each day….the enemy brings that us, we just must be ready for that action. To be ready mentally, notice in v13 that Peter says to fix our hope “completely” on the grace to be brought. There is no splitting of our hope/focus – it must be singular to be mentally prepared.

Have a blessed day – ready mentally for the battle!
