Scripture lesson: Romans 8:6-11 Spirit vs Flesh
Time to reflect: Rather than picturing this as two natures in us that are warring (“vs”) think of this as two possible attitudes or foci and that we can choose to focus on earthly, physical, self-serving things or heavenly, spiritual, God-serving things. The choice is ours.
Moving through the day: Pray that you may keep spiritual things to the forefront of you thinking an actions today.
Scripture:
The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
