The Mind of Christ
By Billy Graham
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind.
–2 Timothy 1:7
Many diseases of both body and mind are self-inflicted. For
example, ulcers are often caused by worry and anxiety. Heart attacks are caused
many times by overexertion. Unjustified worry, fear, prejudice, hatred, and
envy can contribute to mental stress, which could lead to mental illness. So
one way to have a healthy mind is to avoid those practices. But the Bible-way
to a healthy mind is this, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
Jesus.” If you have the mind of Christ, worry will be offset by trust, enmity
by love, and fear by faith.
Prayer for the Day:
Fears sometimes seem as if they would overwhelm me, Lord
Jesus, but then I remember Your gift of power, love, and a healthy mind. Thank
You for the promise of healing and love, as I keep my mind on You, my beloved
Lord.
