Mark 12:30 (NKJV) 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’This is the first commandment.
We are going to talk about renewing of the mind; something we work on day in and day out.
This may seem like a constant battle. Why? Because the mind has been allowed to do things a certain way for so long. It’s been working on its own with no one and nothing standing in its way. It has been free to do whatever it wants, however it wants and whenever it wants.
When we begin to renew it, we now introduce it to accountability. Not to just anyone, but to the Holy Spirit!
We may think, “oh, this is great,”! But when we begin to walk in this, we will soon discover some new things about our mind; How much it really loves its freedom with NO accountability.
It’s normal to feel anger, fear and inadequacy at times. Because the mind on its own likes to think it has everything under control and everything figured out. But then it begins to realize it does not have any control at all. It is a false sense of security and comfort. And that false sense of security is deceptive.
James 4:14 (NKJV) 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
When we love God with all our mind, letting Him renew it, we will begin to understand that the God of this universe, our Creator, wants to help us in ways we could never imagine. In this alone our trust in Him becomes our life line, bringing peace to our renewed minds.
