“The mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.” – Romans 8:6

In his book, Mission Possible, Tim Tebow makes the following observations:

If I were to define the word "mission" I would do so like this: “a task or job that someone is given to do.” Whether you realize it or not, you have a mission. What’s interesting about our English word mission is that it comes from a sixteenth century Latin word meaning “to send.” This is what I believe. God has sent you here for a reason. Jesus clearly lays out what we are sent here to do: to love Him and to love others (see Matt. 22:37-39).

But have you ever noticed that He specifically commands us to love Him with all our minds? How often are we engaging God with our heads?

Trust me when I say, I understand there are many voices competing for our attention. But when we give in to negativity, lose focus, hit the snooze button, think we are entitled, and stop growing, our mission is in jeopardy!

EVERYTHING we do starts between the ears, in our minds, with our thoughts. Therefore, to be successful on our God-given mission, we’ve got to have the right mindset. One that will allow us to stay LOCKED IN on the task at hand.

So over the next few weeks I am going to use the acronym: M.I.N.D.S.E.T. – a set of mental attitudes that I will share over the next few weeks to help you start and sustain a mission-possible life.

M – Maker

I – Interruptible

N – Now

D – Different

S – Suffer

E – Excellence

T – To the end.
