SPIRITUAL EXAMINATION 5

(2 Cor 13:5)  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
 
WE MIGHT NEED A MENTAL EVALUATION
 
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
 
What do you think about?  What do you really have your mind on most of the time.  I am afraid that I have to confess that I my thoughts are not always Christ centered and yet I know that they should be.
 
We as Christians often have a very short attention span and the shiny objects of the world seem to attract our attention.  It is so much easier to focus on ourselves and even our families than it is to have our minds focused on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
 
Maybe we need to retrain our minds and as in any other type of training we do it in stages.  We need to spend some time focusing on Jesus and asking ourselves not only what He would do, but what would He have us to do.  The more time we spend actively trying to focus on Him, the more likely it will be for us to stay focused on Him automatically.
 
Examine your own mind.  Put Jesus in the center of your thoughts, your hopes and your dreams. It will change the way you think, the way you act, and the way you live.
