Prepare your mind for action

1 Peter 1: 13

Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Prepare your minds for action.

Is that what we do in the church today? 

What Gospel action have you taken so far this week?

Peter is writing to the church, about what’s required to be holy, and to live a holy life.

Being self controlled is probably a good thing if you want to be holy.

But for us to be holy, we must set our hope fully on the grace given to us through Jesus Christ.

Think of the action commands that Jesus gave us for a moment…..

“when you pray—go and make disciples—baptize them—love your neighbor—obey my teaching—pray for your enemies”

Everything we do in this walk of faith requires action, done so through the power of living God.

What will you do to prepare your mind for action today?

We’re supposed to have the mind of Christ, those of us who say we’re believers/followers of Jesus.

It might be a good idea, if we started this new day by renewing our minds, before we take any action……..
