In order to live in God's best, your mind must be submitted to God.

God gave you intellect. He gave you the ability to reason, but it wasn't to argue with Him.

As God leads us through His Word and the gifts of the Spirit, our reasoning really wants to get involved. But that's not its place.

The Bible says it this way, "Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ."

When God directs us and our thoughts start to stir, it is required of us that we silence them.

God's commands are not up for discussion. They are usually beyond our understanding. Yet, they are always for our benefit.

The only way to truly live by the Spirit is to become masterful at quieting your mind.
