[The Glory Unveiled]
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. ( Romans 8:5 )
The verse of scripture for our devotion today seem to re-echo the famous saying of the Lord Jesus recorded in Matthew 6:21 and Luke 12:34 which says “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”. Psychology teaches that habits [which become addictions] are developed when our minds create neurological pathways as a result of repeating an action. As the action sharpens, the pathways deepen. The apostle Paul draws our attention to this truth in our devotional text of reference. How do you know if you are in the flesh; after the things of the flesh or after the things of the Spirit? It is determined by the persistent domain of our thinking, where our hearts always lie. If where our treasure is, there our hearts will be, then where our hearts are, there our treasures had been. So whenever we are mindful and very concerned about the things of the flesh, then that is a redflag cautioning us to recalibrate our course on the narrow journey back home. And then a keen interest in the things that excites God is a clue of where our hearts and treasures are. May we consciously and by the guiding of the Holy Spirit be led after the things of God.
