"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he, “eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you." Proverbs 23:7 |

The heart, in its Old Testament context, represents one’s thoughts and feelings, which actually originate in the mind. Thus, our ability to discipline our thoughts and emotions, which in turn create self-image, is critical for a successful life.

Disciplining the mind is a critical process -- but that does not equate to a difficult process.

Romans 12:2 teaches us that the renewing of our mind helps us discover what the will of God is for our lives. God has done His part to make it easier for us. When we became new creatures in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), we were given the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). God’s Word also provides us with the direction we need to allow this new mind to grow and develop. Philippians 4 lists godly things, which allow the peace of God to remain in us. Depression, anxiety, and fear don’t stay in the minds of those whose thoughts remain on God. |
