Novak
Djokovic is the Number One tennis player in the world. After beating Andy
Murray at the Shanghai Masters, he told reporters, "A calm mind always
wins. Confidence plays a key role for any person on this planet."1
For
Christians, a calm mind comes from having our thoughts fixed on Jesus and our
minds stayed on Him (Hebrews 3:1; Isaiah 26:3). Jesus told us to love Him with
all our mind (Matthew 22:37). The Bible warns against an "anxious
mind" (Luke 12:29) and instructs us to set our minds on "things
above" (Colossians 3:2). We're to be renewed in the spirit of our minds.
To be spiritually minded is "life and peace" (Ephesians 4:23; Romans
8:6). As we meditate on God's Word, the peace of God guards our "hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7). 1
Amid the racket of life, a calm mind always wins. Learn to deliberately fix your mind on Jesus and His Word today. Focus on Christ and feed on His Word.
It is a grand thing when the mind becomes calm, when the soul grows strong, when courage increases, when confidence comes, when deep peace and quiet restfulness flow into the soul.
