Be sober in spirit

"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" 1 Peter 1:13

We were never created to be idle. Each of us is uniquely and fearfully made by God for a purpose. We will never get to our purpose in life if we don't step out in faith. Our faith requires action and we can not be just hearers of the word but it's imperative that we begin to be a doer as well. No matter how daunting or uncomfortable our minds must be made up and ready for action. A ready mind is able to tackle any obstacle and overcome every hurdle. When your mind is made up, there is nothing you can not accomplished with God's help.

Today's scripture also encourages us to "keep sober in spirit. Sober can be defined in this verse as: one being alert, aware and on guard. When a person is sober in spirit they are not being influenced by anything that will impair their faith, hope or love in Christ Jesus. We have to be on the look out for the things that come to distort, distract and detach us from the Truth of God's word. When you are sober you are able to catch those thoughts that come to infiltrate your belief system and plant seeds of doubt.

If our mind is focused on fulfilling God's plan, we become fixed and unshakable regardless of what we will face in the process. When you are able to align your mind with the word of God you will experience a deeper revelation and understanding of God's grace and knowledge of his dear Son.

It's time to take hold of the plan of God for your life and put it into action. Stay alert and remain fixed in the hope of the one who loves you beyond comprehension. As you get a hold of how deep God love goes for you, there will be nothing that can hinder your quest to achieve all that he has sent before you.
