"Safe Harbor's" Daily Inspiration

"One man esteemeth one day above another:

another esteemeth every day alike.

Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind."

Romans 14:5

Fully Persuaded

Our minds are quite impressionable to the influences of our

environment, ready to keep a record of everything

we encounter along life's way.

Stored there, many of our past experiences affect our

present thoughts and actions.

We must marvel at God's design in providing us

with this gray matter between our ears.

Our minds are our greatest stewardship responsibility.

And we must be very careful about what they receive.

There is so much available to us that poisons our minds.

This was also true in Paul's day.

He exhorted the Christians at Philippi to watch

what they fed their minds.

He encouraged whatever was true, noble, right, pure,

lovely, admirable, excellent, or deserving praise, saying,

"Think on these things."

(Philippians 4:8)

The best nourishment for our minds is worship

in the body of Christ with fellow Christians,

and a regular study of God's Word.

Through them, the Holy Spirit,

having brought us to faith in Christ,

works all good within us.

And the promise holds true:

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,

shall keep your hearts and minds

through Christ Jesus."

(Philippians 4:7)

May everyone be fully persuaded in their own mind.

"For whether we live, we live unto the Lord;

and whether we die, we die unto the Lord:

whether we live therefore, or die,

we are the Lord's."

God Bless You!
