       If we think we are terrible Christians, sinning all the time, then guess what? That’s what we are going to keep on doing, sinning. As we think we are, in our hearts, so we become in our lives. The way we continue to put to death the deeds our our flesh and live, the way we live is by keeping that optimistic, hopeful mindset that I talked about last week. Hope is the anchor for our soul, as the writer of Hebrews has told us. If we are going to overcome sin and eliminate sin, we have to believe that we can. It’s that simple. It’s not that we try harder, we’ve already discussed how that doesn’t work for us. What do we do then? We contemplate, meditate on, and consider God’s ways. We fill our minds with what is right. We think about the patterns we see in Scripture for how we are to do things. We abide in Christ. We think about good things. We spend time with God. We fellowship with him regularly. We begin our day thinking about him and we end our day thinking about him.
