And so, when I saw today I was going to be reading from 1 Peter, I knew immediately. He's going to be talking about holiness. And part of me when, ugh.

Because I don't know about you, but most of life, I don't feel very holy.

So, I began to thinking, ok, this is going to convict me and make me realize I've got a long way to go to being the person that God wants me to be. And then I read it. And something jumped out at me.

Listen to what Peter writes in verses 13-16.

It's that first verse that really jumped out at me. Prepare your minds for action. What a great concept. I think, at least in my life, I get myself in trouble, when my mind is not ready. When I'm not prepared. When I'm not ready. When my mind is not focused on Jesus.

Are our minds ready today?

Today, you will face temptation. It's coming. It may be happening right now.

You will face discouragement. It's gonna happen.

You will face troubles and trials and worries. It's gonna happen.

Get your mind ready. Be ready. Don't be caught by surprise. These things will come. Center your mind on Christ. Make Him your focus. Make Him your light, your rock, your hope, your strength.

Trouble will be coming. That's truth. That's the way that it is. Temptation will be coming.

Prepare your mind. Get ready.

And the God of all strength and comfort will give you what you need for this day.

And each day. Get ready. God will be with you.
