Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.
- Romans 8:5 (NLT)
This one is hard.
There are so many things that are considered sin, some so tiny people forget that it is sin.
When the restaurant puts in an extra bag of fries, and you say nothing.
When UPS/FedEx/DHL drops off a package and you open it then realize it was not your package, but you say nothing.
When you see a handsome guy or gal and you start thinking about things you shouldn’t.
When the person in front of you drops money and you pick it up without saying anything.
When you give a fake excuse as a reason to get out of doing something.
Little white lies, lies of omission, thoughts of an unkind deed.
Sin.
When these are the only things a person thinks about - that person is not in touch with God.
When we let our hearts and minds be filled with the Holy Spirit, the thoughts of sin are not in focus any longer.
We open our minds instead to the things that please God.
What are you thinking?
