the MIND over NATURE

Isa. 26:3 - Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

and again: Isa. 46:8 - Remember this and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

My friends, we are blessed above all creation. God has set in motion natural processes that continue daily in the method of their creation. That is, without thought or mindset that allows them to wilfully change their course. Weather, the flora and fauna, all nature follow a NATURAL course, set in place by God before we even saw this earth. But we, humans, have been endowed with a MIND. A thought process that can change the course of our NATURE! With submission to God and in being mindful of him and our spiritual state, we can come to a place of change and alter our natural process.

From carnal to spiritual, from sinner to saint, we can rise up and make ourselves better through Him and His blessings. Don't forget him this week, my friend! Change your course, alter thoughts and behavior to come into line with His design! Be mindful of how you wake up in the morning and how you go to bed at night. Where are your thoughts? Where is your heart? As a man thinketh so is he! Nature surely cannot say that! Be strong, show yourselves men (beings of strength and force) and set your mind on God!

Father, we thank you for, and we pray for, those who have joined us and for those whom we know. Be mindful of them this week, and help them be mindful of you! In Jesus Name, we pray. AMEN.

In Love,

Elder Mark and Sister Dana
