HOPE FOR EACH DAY
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12;2
The Bible teaches that our minds are to be brought under the control of Christ. The reason? How we act will be determed by how we think. If God is to change our lives, He must first change our minds.
The human mind cannot be a vacuum. It will be filled either with good or evil. It will be filled either with Christ or with calamity. What will make the difference? It depends on us, and on what we allow to enter our minds.
Negatively, our minds must be turned away from evil. We must be careful what kind of television programs we see, what kind of books we read, the things that occupy our thoughts.
But it isn't enough to put bad thoughts out of our minds. Positively, they must be replaced with good thoughts, thoughts that are shaped by God and His word, by prayer and worship, by fellowship with other Christians.
Deliberately turn away from every evil thought today and ask God to fill your mind instead with Himself from this moment on.

Always remember, with God all things are possible.
