Renew Your Mind

 

     Jesus transforms us from the inside out. His world moves us out of the physical realm around us and into heaven, where we come boldly to the throne of God.

Let us, therefore, come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4;16

     Not conforming to the world around us is difficult, isn’t it? Our culture talks to us 24/7 on our devices, through the media, through advertising, in our places of work, in our neighborhoods.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

     How do we not conform to the patterns of the world? The Scripture above answers the question for us. Meditate and study God’s word. Pray and listen for the Holy Spirit’s lead and renew your mind, to discern what is good and pleasing to Him, rather than what appears to be good in the world around us. Remember, Satan is deceitful, can masquerade as an angel of light and is the father of lies. (John 8:44)

     The truth is ours and it will set us free from the chains that bind us.

Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

     Move to the throne of grace and focus on things above. God’s word will renew our minds to be filled with God’s world rather becoming filled with the world around us.

Lord,

Renew our hearts and minds to be focused on You above all we see, hear and touch. Our spirits are hungry for what is good and pleasing to You.

In Jesus name,

Amen
