2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but
gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Many diseases of both body and mind are self-inflicted. For
example, ulcers are often caused by worry and anxiety. Heart attacks are caused
many times by overexertion. Unjustified worry, fear, prejudice, hatred, and
envy can contribute to mental stress, which could lead to mental illness. So
one way to have a healthy mind is to avoid those practices. But the Bible way
to a healthy mind is this, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
Jesus.” If you have the mind of Christ, worry will be offset by trust, enmity
by love, and fear by faith.
Thought for today:
Do I approach situations knowing I have power?
