TOPIC.: MIND MANAGEMENT
TEXT:Dont cherish exaggerated ideas of yourself, Romans 12:3 (PHPS)
extracted from the devotional THE WORD FOR TODAY.
HERE ARE two more examples of mind management. A thought knocks on the door of your mind and says, You're so wonderful, the world is lucky to have you.' Typically its the kind of thought you'd welcome, but you dont do things the typical way. You submit it to the authority of Christ, and as you unsheathe the sword  of the Spirit, His word, you learn that Pride doesn't please God. Dont cherish exaggerated ideas of yourself.'As much as you'd like to embrace an exaltedimage of yorself, you cant. you only allow what Christ allows. Heres another example: this time its temptation. If you're a male, the thought comes in a low-cut red dress. If you're a female, it comes in the form of the hunk you've always admired. Temptation whispers, its all alright, you're both consenting adults. If you aren't under Christ authority you throw open the door, but if you are you say, Not so fast,' Then you take this steamy thought before Jesus and ask, ' Yes or No?' And nowhere does he answer more clearly than 1 Cor 6&7: We must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever... Is it a good thing to have sexual relations? Certainly- but only within a certain context. its good for a man to have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband. sexual drives are strong,  but marriage is strong enough to contain them' (1 Cor 6:15-16;7:1-3 TM). Now, armed with the opinion of Christ and the Sword of the Spirit, what do you do? Unless the tempter or the temptress is your spouse- you slam the door shut. End of Story!
