Read Romans: 11: 33 to 12:2The easy answer? Jesus. We find freedom in Jesus and His Word. How awesome that our loving God gives us the gift of the Bible to help us keep our path straight and righteous! But we must put in the effort to do as Paul instructs, to renew and transform our mind so that when faced with questions and choices of how we should act and behave, we will clearly and undoubtedly know what we should do.
In the darkness - our thoughts, feelings and will, the hold of our culture, our unfiltered destructive auto-responses to hurt, anger, jealousy, and sexual stimuli live with power. Where do we find freedom?
One of the things I'm challenging myself to do is to make a more concerted effort to memorize scripture. It's started with my Bible Basics class - we are required to memorize one assigned verse a week - but I'm hoping to continue to assign myself verses to memorize well after the class has ended. In just the 3-4 weeks that I've been doing this, it's been amazing how much more confident I feel just having a few verses tucked away in my heart.
What are some ways you transform and renew your mind?
