WE ARE RENEWED in the SPIRIT of OUR MINDS
“…be renewed in the spirit of your mind,..”
Fascinating research has been done the last several years on the brain and how it can be “renewed.” Dr. Caroline Leaf in her book, Switch On Your Brain, explains, “As we think, we change the physical nature of our brain. As we consciously direct our thinking, we can wire out toxic patterns of thinking and replace them with healthy thoughts. New thought networks grow. We increase our intelligence and bring healing to our brains, minds, and physical bodies. It all starts in the realm of the mind, with our ability to think and choose – the most powerful thing in the universe after God, and indeed, fashioned after God.” (page 20) Ephesians 4:23 is more than a verse over which we should hurriedly read. It is a lifeline to new thoughts and behavior. Believers have the great hope and reality of a renewed mind and therefore life. Through the Spirit and the Word of God, we can be renewed in the spirit of our minds.
Heavenly Father, my heart is overwhelmed as I think on YOU; and that because of the way You created and recreated me in Christ Jesus, I can be renewed in the spirit of my mind. Help me take Your Word seriously and do my part to be increasingly renewed in the spirit of my mind.
