Our life is
shaped by our thoughts in mind. Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your
thoughts. Proverbs 4:23. When we have the mind of Christ, we start to look at
life from the point of view of God. We will have values of God and His desires
in our mind. We will start to think God’s thoughts and not think as the world
thinks. Because as He is, so are we in this world – 1 John 4:17. Though we are
in this world, we are not of this world. Let us transform our pattern of
thinking by the renewing of our mind.
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but
the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace – Romans 8:6. We will have
life and peace when our mind is governed by the Holy Spirit. Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have
been freely given to us by God - 1 Corinthians 2:12. We can know the mind and
will of Christ through the spirit of God. God will make us to grow up in His
wisdom when we have the mind of Christ.
When we have the mind
of Christ, we will be filled with obedience, humility, love, compassion and
holiness. Let us be the imitators of Christ as we have the mind of Christ (Ephesians
5:1). Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things - Colossians 3:2. Let
us possess the mind of Christ and set our minds on heavenly things. For “who
has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind
of Christ - 1 Corinthians 2:16.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Fill us with the same
mind as Your mind. Renew our mind and fill us with Your thoughts. In Jesus name
we pray. Amen.
