Renew your mind with God’s Word

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Ro 12:2 NKJV

The most important thing you can do every day—is renew your mind with God’s Word. When you get that right, everything else will begin to fall into place. You’ll think and act differently, so you’ll get different results. Do you remember the old TV series The Beverly Hillbillies? What made the show so interesting is that Jed and his family had been set free from their past—a life of poverty back in the Ozarks. But even after they moved to California’s Beverly Hills, they continued in their “hillbilly” ways. Their location had changed, but their mindset hadn’t. The same was true of the Israelites. They had a slave mentality. Even though they were free and God was providing their every need, the minute a problem came up they wanted to go back to Egypt. They couldn’t enter tomorrow because they were still carrying the baggage of yesterday! Read these words carefully: “Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it” (Heb 4:1 NKJV). You ask, “But aren’t God’s promises guaranteed?” Yes, if you do what He says! God promised to bless you financially—if you tithe and sow generously. He promised to direct your paths—if you acknowledge Him in all your ways. He promised to forgive you—if you forgive others. You only “prove what is that good…acceptable…perfect will of God” by continually renewing your mind! So the word for you today is: Renew your mind with God’s Word.
