I helped a business in Poulsbo move after work on Wednesday and this moving took four hours and the job still wasn’t done at the end of those four hours and I became quite tired because I am a paper pushing, mouse clicking civil engineer who doesn’t generally visit the field even once a week.
I returned to my home after I was all through and cleaned myself off and climbed into my twin-sized bed and fell asleep after a while. Then, after a while longer, I woke up again and then after some more time had gone by, I thought to myself, “my body is quite tired, but my head is quite clear. My head was not clear like this before talking to worship pastor Patso on Tuesday.” Then I remembered how the NIV reads in 1 Peter 4:8.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.
So we now know about one of the things that can be done with a clear mind.
Of course we can think of things to do to acquire or maintain a clear mind like:
- Confessing our sins
- Not becoming drunk
- Eating our breakfasts
- Sleeping when we’re supposed to so that we can be awake when we’re supposed to
- Many, many other things which you may choose to type about in the comment field
1 Peter 4:7 indicates that doing these little things can help us to deal with the end times.
