Solomon warned, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Prov 23:7, NKJV). This truth ought to give us some pause in regard to how we condition our minds.
You see, our mind determines who we are and who we are becoming. And the mind bases what it thinks on what it sees and hears, primarily.
So, the pause: What are you feeding your mind? What are your eyes gazing upon? What are your ears tuned in to? It's your choice what goes in but once in there, it will grow and develop. As the apostle Paul put, "A man reaps what he sows" (Gal 6:7, NIV).
Think about it this way: When you look for the best in others, it brings out the best in you. When you reflect on grace, it becomes the model for your life. When your eyes are filled with godliness, godliness becomes the central theme of your life.
Here is the vision upon which to build your life: "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life appears, then you will also appear with him in glory" (Col 3:2-4). Jus' Say'n.
