Resetting the mind is more like it. When your computer gets "locked up" you hit the reset button. How many times has the Holy Spirit brought you to a place where He is telling you to hit the reset button on your thought-life? You lack contentment, reset with thanksgiving. You lack peace, reset with being still before Him. Sometimes the thoughts are very clear and they need a reset. Your thoughts about your outer appearance are not kind, reset to "man looks on the outward appearance and God looks on the heart." Sometimes they are the thoughts of others. "Another child, are you crazy?" Reset with "Children are a gift from the Lord."
Our thoughts, our minds need to be set on the things above or the interests of God. Why does one person fall into sin and yet another stands strong? Check where their hearts are set towards. Romans 8:5 says, "Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." God promises are to give us life, His life! "So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature." Galatians 5:16
I am always curious of other's walks with God. Post what you do to "set your mind on things above."
