Prepare Your Mind
Therefore with your minds ready for action, be serious and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
I Peter 1:13
Did you know your mind is a wonderful thing?
You can memorize life-changing passages of scripture that can undergird you in your daily life.
you can meditate upon God's Word, discovering His magnificent truths, you can discern between truth and fake, you can also recall God's past blessings.
Some of God's most effective servants were those who disciplined their minds for His service. Moses was educated in the best schools of Egypt, and yet God used him to assemble the Books of Law for the Isralites. Isaiah used his scholarly mind to write profound prophetic books in scripture, fortelling many a wonders that we can testify even today. Paul is another one who the Lord used his intelligence to write the new testament of some profound events of his day as he went about witnessing the Love of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Sadly, many of us today do not exercise their minds to be of service to God. They allow others to do their spiritual thinking for them. Laziness and Lack of Zeal in the things of God is a weapon used against our success. We look for His word in Books, instead of studying the Word for ourselves.
I urge my Brothers and Sisters in Christ to strive for maturity in our thinking. At one time our spiritual thinking was immature, but we must "PREPARE OUR MINDS" to know and understand the great truths of God. We must come to a point where we will not allow others to do our thinking for us. When we become Christians, God renewed our minds. Be certain to use your mind in a way that brings glory to our great and mighty God.
my prayer: Lord keep my mind afresh with your thoughts, let not my mind be polluted with the things of this crazy world. Keep a hedge of protection over my thought pattern, that each day as I feed my mind with your dynamic and powerful words, that I may know you are with me and in me to carry out your truths on a daily basis......I Love you Lord with my whole heart....amen
