Gathering Our Thoughts

“Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:13).

Peter is saying, “I am aware of the difficult trials you are facing.  That is why I am reminding you about the mystery of salvation that has been delivered to you through Jesus Christ, so that you no longer focus on your trouble, but on God and His bigger picture.”

We need to gather our thoughts refocussing them onto the salvation that  is to come at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  Take a moment and jot down what affect focusing your mind on the grace of God has on your emotional state.
