JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9
TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY
BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not.
It works like this: you have to
(a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.
(b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.
(c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.
(d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.
(e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice!
But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking another?” No, its re-training yourself to walk God’s way, and restraining yourself from walking any other way! You are literally declaring, “Lord, its no longer a matter of anything goes”.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, let your word renew my heart, mind and attitude day by day O Lord.
Insight: From now on, its what you say, and what you direct me to do.
