How Are You Training Your Mind

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:7-8‬ “Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly." “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”

     Well, I needed this today. I have wasted a bit of time, trying to guide someone away from godless ideas. I didn't realize until reading this, that they are actually caught up in 'old wives' tales' oops - I got sucked in. Next step, rely on scripture. Study IT and have Gods words to come back with. Truth. Like in our 'full armor' - this is a physical training that we NEED to do each day! Like water to our soul - we must drink of His water, and eat His bread = the Bible. Reading, memorizing, sharing. We can "train" ourselves, by simply reading something every day. I like starting this new habit in Proverbs. It is easy. Whatever the "date" is, match it to the chapter number in Proverbs, and read that. So, if today is the 15th of the month, then we read chapter 15. Then you will just start over next month with chapter 1 on the first day of the month. Easy!! Are you asking, "But Lisa Marie, I will get board reading the same thing over and over. Then what will I do?" Let me tell you some BIG time TRUTH here: the bible IS the living, breathing words of God! Every time you read something, even if you have read it a million times before - it WILL affect you differently. Depending on where you are in life, and what is going on. EVERY time I read through the bible, something different "jumps" out at me. Depending on what I need right then at that moment. That's how God works! He WANTS to build a relationship with us, so He uses His word (the bible) to do it. I have been reading proverbs for years and years, and it is NOT like a regular book written by a person!! It never gets boring, never fails to speak truth! I totally see benefits here in this life!! I'm looking forward to seeing heaven, and just who all it has affected in our life to come! Today, do some 'strength training' with Gods word - build your 'spiritual muscles' - you WILL be blessed both physically and mentally!
