No one thinks that they are focusing on the things that bring "death". In fact, most believe that the flesh focuses away from death and toward life and peace. That is the deception of our fleshly minds. What we often consider will give us life, actually brings death. And the very things that will produce life, we avoid as though they would kill us! This is simply because we are not thinking with our spiritual minds. Instead we think from an earthly point of view.
Consider what you will primarily think about today. Will it be the things of God? Will you focus on how you can please HIm with your attitudes, words and actions? Or will you go about your day pursuing what everyone else is pursuing? Will your life look any different than those who don't know Christ around you?
If those without the Spirit are living lives just like ours, maybe we should reconsider how we are living. They have no option but to pursue "death". Since we have the Spirit, we should make our life about different pursuits. Life comes from the Spirit and not the things of this world.
Something to consider. Live by the Spirit today. Pursue true life and peace.
