Clothing your mind

     Good morning, dear friends! Are you up and dressed or in the process of dressing yourself outwardly for the day? Are you sure you're ready for the day? Did you remember to dress your inward man as well as the outward? Ya know, being dressed inwardly spiritually is the most important dressing of the entire day. 
     Colossians 3:12-17 tells us "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another; if any of you has a grievance against someone Forgive, as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
     We don't know what today holds but God certainly does; and it is so important to be prepared for whatever may come your way; so we can be more than conquerors in all we encounter. Clothing our mind with spiritual tools is a must. Being mindful that Holy Spirit is within us, not only to lead and guide us, but also to warn us of roadblocks and pending dangers ahead, both physically and spiritually; so we must take time to sharpen our skill of listening and heed His instructions as we go through our day. Proverbs 3:5,6 tells us to "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding; in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path." 
     Clothing our mind with the Word of God will sharpen our listening skills and allow Holy Spirit to guide us in the only sure way to avoid dangerous pitfalls. So as you go throughout your day, listen attentively to God's voice as He leads and guides you in all your ways; and don't forget your garment of praise that brings smiles to our Father's face. Have a blessed day, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~~
