'Mind-field'

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us”

AW Tozer

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will" Romans 12v1-2

What comes into your mind and heart today when you think about God? Distant? Absent? Passive? Angry? Party-pooper? or Real? Father? Loving? Present? Sovereign? Friend? Healer? Deliverer? Today your mind needs renewing, so does mine! We cannot afford to just allow ourselves to think any old thing, blown and tossed around by every wind of doctrine or adversity. We will need to 'take captive' thoughts that rise up to rob us of the truth of who God is and the truth of who we are in God. Don't just stop at apprehending a false thought though. Go ahead and replace it with the message of Christ - His Gospel, the truth of His Word - faith comes by hearing and hearing through the message of Christ....so take a moment, do an audit of 'what we think about God' today - is it shaped by truth as the highest reality or merely by circumstances or popular opinion?
