Rom 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
What is your mindset today? Does it run in ruts, jagged with dryness and monotony? Does it run over the same tired ground, fixed on the same perceptions and judgments? We have the choice to be refreshed by the Spirit on a daily, moment by moment basis. We can be led by the flesh, or led by the Spirit. The two do NOT operate simultaneously. We can take each day's experiences and allow them to run like water down the ruts of our past, or we can allow the Spirit to channel them into the new life, and new way of thinking, that we received at salvation. It takes some practice. A lifetime of practice. Oh, but the delight of a new way of seeing people, experiences, "accidents", insults, and injuries. We can chose to learn, to forgive unconditionally, to pour out grace.
All in the Spirit.
