"Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"
1 Peter 1:13 (NKJ)
To "gird up your loins" is basically like rolling your sleeves up, preparing to do some hard work. I really like how this verse tells us to do this for our minds, to get in a mindset for getting some work done. Like focusing and thinking about useful things. It's also really cool how in the same verse, Peter additionally says that while having a work-ready mindset is vital, our salvation isn't dependent on works but on God's grace. Salvation is a gift; working is a blessing!
Have a nice week! :)
