Crowded Minds
 
Romans 8:6-7 (CSB) Now the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the spirit is life and peace. The mindset of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit to God’s law. Indeed, it is unable to do so.
 
We have too much on our minds. It concerns me that the abundance of what we think about stays imbedded in the recesses of our brains rather than being filtered and emptied out. Stagnate thoughts suppress our ability to process, grow, and develop through the many changes that occur in our lives. We get stuck in a bad way. Excess thoughts crowd our minds and crowd our spirit-man from keeping a clear connection with God. We can remedy the situation by making a point to empty our thoughts like we empty a wastebasket. Thoughts that are not beneficial to us have to go! Filter them out by taking the time to be still and silent, and follow up with some meditative prayers. A little rest, and a little mental renewal from the Word of God can clear out the crowd and give us peaceful minds.
Our brain health impacts our heart health. Let’s filter out our crowded minds.
