Mindset Matters: Flesh or Spirit
“For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.” — Romans 8:5 (NASB 1995)
Your mind is a battleground. What you think about most reveals what you live for.
Paul tells us there are only two mindsets: one according to the flesh—self-centered, temporary, impulsive; the other according to the Spirit—God-centered, eternal, and peace-filled.
The Holy Spirit renews our minds as we fix our thoughts on truth. He empowers us to say no to fleshly desires and yes to what pleases God.
Reflection:
Where is your mind most often set? What thoughts do you need to surrender to the Spirit?Prayer:
Holy Spirit, teach me to set my mind on things above, not on the things of this world. Let Your thoughts shape my life. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
