Me too girl there is so much that can go wrong when you loose sight of
the promise and of his hands/glory. I too have to PRACTICE something
that I think came naturally as a child we get so "knowledgeable" that
sometimes we lose the "balance" I like learning but sometimes wonder if
in my learning it caused me to become a skeptic on some things and
untrusting on others and way too over critical on others... thanks for
always sharing "the word' even if it is not for everyone in our group...
boldness.. that's what is key.. keep em comin

I really want to thank you for talking about keeping your mind on track,
I let my foot slip and it seems like it's hard to get back on track. I
will practice to keep my mind on track and on Jesus.

Keep your foot [give your mind to what you are doing].
-Ecclesiastes 5:1

I believe the expression "keep your foot" means "don't lose your balance
or
get off track." The amplification of this phrase indicates that one
stays on
track by keeping his mind on what he is doing. I had a wandering mind
and
had to train it by
Discipline. Sometimes I still have a relapse.

While trying to complete some project, I will suddenly realize that my
mind
has just wandered off onto something else that has nothing to do with
the
issue at hand. I have not yet arrived at a place of perfect
concentration,
but at least I understand how important it is not to allow my mind to go
wherever it wishes, whenever it desires.

If you are like me, you can be sitting in a church service listening to
the
speaker, really enjoying and benefiting from what is being said, when
suddenly your mind begins to wander. After a while you "wake up" to find
that you don't remember a thing that has been going on. Even though your
body stayed in church, your mind has been at the shopping center
browsing
through the stores or home in the kitchen cooking dinner.

Remember, in spiritual warfare the mind is the battlefield. That is
where
the enemy makes his attack. He knows very well that even though a person
attends church, if he can't keep his mind on what is being taught, he
will
gain absolutely nothing by being there. The devil knows that a person
cannot
discipline himself to complete a project if he cannot discipline his
mind
and keep it on what he is doing.

Remember, Satan wants you to think that you are mentally deficient-that
something is wrong with you. But the truth is, you just need to begin
disciplining your mind. Don't let it run all over town, doing whatever
it pleases. Begin today to "keep your foot," to keep your mind on what
you're doing. You will need to practice for a while. Breaking old habits
and forming new ones always takes time, but it is worth it in the end.
