I Peter 1:13 - "Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
Preparation always involves planning. If we believe we can live as Christ's followers without understanding the need to turn our gaze upon Jesus for our strength, then we are deceived. A prepared plan to overcome involves taking every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus.
It is impossible, beloved of God, to stumble through life without being vigilant about the schemes of the devil. Once we set our minds on the Lord, our emotions will follow. As a result, our hope will be steadfast toward Christ's revelation in our lives. May we keep standing firm, turning our gaze upon the Beloved. There is only hope in Him.
Your Barefoot Servant
Rick
