A Mind Like a Sieve / David Jeremiah

 

A Mind Like a Sieve Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8, NLT    The dictionary defines a filter as a device through which air or liquid is passed to remove impurities. People wore masks during COVID, hoping to filter out the virus. Our swimming pools have filters to keep the water pure. We need oil filters for our cars, air filters for our heating systems, coffee filters for our morning cups, aquarium filters for our fish, and light filters for our cameras.

Recommended Reading: John 8: 31 – 36

What filters our mind, keeping our thoughts pure? There’s only one filter for the mind, and that’s the Word of God. When you internalize His Word through diligent study and memorization, it builds an internal spiritual and mental filter that helps us fight temptation, resist depression, and increase our wisdom. Through studying God’s Word, our minds are renewed, and our hearts cleansed. Find a way to interact daily with Scripture. It will change your mind!   Let the Bible saturate your internal life, your mind, your thinking. Let the Bible be…your filter…Choose to have God’s Word dwell within you, which means having the Bible be at home in your mind. Chris Mueller
