Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing 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 NIV Bible Gateway
Your mind is a wonderful gift from God if you take care of it by exercising it and putting good thoughts into it. As Bible teacher Joyce Meyer says “the mind is a battlefield” and by this she means you need to discipline your ‘thinker’ or what you choose to think about.
Many scriptures in God’s word talk about your mind. One of my favorites is the verse above. You can control what you think and what you choose to allow into your thoughts. It helps to screen media choices too because things can get into your mind and try to shape you in many ways.
So your assignment is to start right thinking. Don’t think of people in a negative light but pray for people you don’t understand or don’t see eye to eye with. Be careful what you think.
PRAYER: Thank you Lord that you gave me a mind and how powerful it is. Help me not allow garbage to infiltrate and poison my thinking. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
