Consider the power of the human brain

Consider the human brain.
Despite weighing only three pounds, the human brain is the most complex structure in the body. The brain encases more than 100 billion cells and is capable of sending signals to thousands of other cells at speeds of more than 200 miles per hour.
Throughout its lifetime, the brain will establish trillions of connections within the body. All that power -- and we still manage to forget where we put our vehicle keys.
The human brain really is an incredible machine. It goes far beyond any man-made computers in terms of its complexity and capability.
Our brain serves as the command and control center of the body. This enables various organs to function while simultaneously helping us operate at an intellectual level, retaining facts, learning to reason and thinking.
The mind is one of God's most fascinating creations. But, we must guard our thoughts.
"Self-control is primarily mind-control," John Stott said.
J.J. Oswald Sanders states, "The mind of man is the battleground on which every moral and spiritual battle is fought."
The Lord Jesus gives everyone hope and help with this key truth: We are to love God with all our minds.
