The
Word promises that as we engage in the Word, we can be renewed in our
mind. However, the issue becomes when our thoughts flow freely, we may
find ourselves moving toward the problems... (getting) snagged on a
given problem. However, a renewed mind is one that is focused on the
solution at hand not the problems of the past or the worries of the
future! That is why the Word encourages us to train our minds... to know
that He is always present... He also promises to illuminate (reveal his
thoughts) to our mind.
How quickly we can forget the obvious...that HE has always been here, HE will always be here, and that HE is HERE, right now! One of Jesus' names, Immanuel, means "God is with us." Matthew 1:23. I would go further to say that our Lord is, "An ever-present help in the time of need!" Psalms 46:1.
So our minds have always been designed to think, but WHAT we think about is our 'MAKING' or 'BREAKING'! Rather than getting "snagged on a given problem" we can train our minds to "seek Him" in the midst of a situation.
He certainly has the power to "enlighten our minds." Like plugging into a power source we can tap into His Presence! As His presence powers us up, we become transformed and even renewed in how we think, in how we interact with others all of which are encounters of His light, shining through us!
I challenge you to be freed in this thought, Philippians 1:6, "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." He is ever present, ever ready, ever looking to love, lead, and live through our surrendered lives! \O/
Simply trust Him on today! \O/
