Our life is full of choices – this includes the ability to make a choice about how we think. God’s Word tells us to set our mind on things above and not on earthly things.
So yes, the fact that we’re told to “set our mind” means that we have the choice to choose the things that our mind should focus on. This doesn’t mean negative thoughts won’t enter our mind, because they will. If that were the case, there wouldn’t be any need for us to consciously choose to set our mind on Him and His ways.
Bottom line – our thoughts are totally determined by us.
Now, armed with this knowledge and a firm commitment to exercise our mind, we’re ready to go. Each time a thought pops up that doesn’t align with His Word, we simply make the choice to throw it to the way side, and yes, keep moving.
It’s not always easy as life can throw it’s punches – however, we must allow our mind to be renewed, for yes, it’s vital that we fight off the negativity that comes our way.
It’s when we don’t give up that we’ll find the fruit of this process.
We’ll find ourselves responding to the circumstances we face with strength, faith, and yes, confidence! And we’ll do this all because our mindset is renewed and becoming rooted in Him.
When we learn His mindset, we’ll naturally act more like Him.
The greatest thing about all of this – our transformation is happening on the inside, deep within our spiritual core.
When we’re frustrated, we become able to speak the truth in love, and yes, rather than falling into depression when we make a mistake – we find grace within, for yes, He is with us.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” Romans 12:2
