Mind-setting

 Our mind is the control tower of our life!

Dr. Charles Stanley

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Col.3:2

 

To set our mind on things above

Does not come naturally, it seems

Each sacred, soul-anointed glove

Must learn to bridle idle dreams

How easily the mind can stray

And if we do not rein it in

We might get lost along the way

In pitfalls veiled in flints of skin

The by-and-by that all will brave

Ought to make us more love-inclined

We are either servant or slave

To one master; that of the mind

Therefore we ought to give more heed

(This applies to both old and young)

To what we feed this mighty Stead

That moves our hands and feet and tongue

Thoughts whispers are quick to beguile

With whims Want is quick to applaud

This momentous causeway, Meanwhile

Is all that stands twixt man and God

The mind is kind of like a trove

The treasure that it seeks to hold

Will set its sights on things above

Or be bamboozled by fool’s gold
