The one and the only way to keep our minds guarded, is by constantly filling our hearts with the peace of Christ, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful” (Col 3:15). Paul also encourages us, by giving a blessing that’s beyond measures, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:7). Another lesson, the apostle is teaching, is that we should wear the mind of our Master and the Messiah within us, each and every day, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). We, as believers, learn to practice this mystery of faith, and encourage one another by sharing this wisdom. 

Abba, thank You for showing us the way to guard our minds. Let Your Spirit support us, every second, as we need help. In Jesus’ Most Holy Name, Amen.
