31 days of change: Day 20: Renewing your mind

“Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.”

-Proverbs 4:23

We have talked the past few days that change requires new thinking, because as it is said in Proverbs our life is shaped by our thoughts. So it's really important what we think.

Learning to control our thoughts,
instead of allowing our thoughts to control us,
is probably the single greatest secret to successful living.
-Kris Vallotton

The Bible tells us:
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
-Ephesians 4:23

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
-Romani 12:2

"God’s Word has to be planted like a seed in our hearts. Just as a seed doesn’t release its life until it is planted into the ground, God’s Word will not set us free until we get it in our hearts."

When we meditate in God’s Word,
we are undergoing effortless change!
-Andrew Wommack

So let’s transform our lives by renewing our minds
by the Word of God.
And how does it happen?
Every day we need to take time to study the Word

so we can purposely think according to what it says.

Renewing the mind is an ongoing process so that's why we need to do it every day.

And we do it by reading and studying the Word of God and growing in our relationship with God.
