Sensitive
I've been waiting all day to write this post because God clearly spoke to me. I need to be more sensitive to the things I'm exposing myself to. Example: I love going to the theater - especially love musicals. I had tickets to "A Chorus Line" and went last night. Should have done some research first - I left before it was half done - and that was an hour longer than I should have stayed. It was raunchy - to me. I felt myself being pricked by the Holy Spirit and Him saying to me, "this is not what I want in your mind, your thoughts, your memory." I paid attention and my friend and I got up and left. But the Holy Spirit wasn't through with me yet. He prompted to my mind: TV, books - stuff I like to fill my time with. "No," He said, "those things need a good cleaning too." So I mean to pay attention and be more mindful of what goes in my mind. There are lots of good books out there to choose from - they don't have to be of the wrong sort - or even questionable. I have devotion books, Christian fiction, clean fiction and others to read. And I can turn the channel or get up when I don't think what's on TV is edifying. I am praying that if God gives me this conviction, He will also give me the strength to live it. Hey, friends out there, check me on this - ask me what I'm reading. I want it to be something worthy of my time and my mind. I'm admonished by Scripture in Philippians 2:5 to "let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
