DAD'S RAMBLINGS – The Renewed Mind
Romans 12:2
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
It is so easy to let my thinking be swayed by the paradigm of the world rather than by Kingdom principles. What seems logical to the worldly mind is often contrary to God's thoughts. In fact, the secular person often thinks the person who lives by God's paradigm is ignorant or stupid. The only way to stay focused on God's perfect world-view is to continually immerse myself in God's Word. A godly world-view cannot be shaped by a steady diet of the secular media – whether CNN, MSNBC, or even Fox News or conservative talk radio. They all present life through a secular lens, which is man-centered rather than God-centered. If that is my main input, my mind will gradually conform to their worldly thinking. I need to renew my mind daily with God's thoughts.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The God-centered mind is often at odds with the worldly mind.
Have a renewed day. Love you.
