"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2
I was reminded today that the definition of insanity was to do the same things over and over but expecting different results. To change we have to be open for change and willing to go through the pains of change. But we also have to be willing to renew our minds in the word of God. Then in my devotional today, it was about God's wisdom. His perfect wisdom. I want that. I began to see how I have relaxed in the last couple of weeks trying to finish these goals and resting after they were done. I had let a complaining whining spirit creep back in. I was allowing myself to gossip when I was frustrated. I had feelings of unforgiveness towards people that had done Darin wrong at his job and in my heart I was wanting my selfish justification. It is all negative and a poison. The teaching I heard on TV was about prosperity. We are blessed to be a blessing to others. We are highly favored by our God and King who provides so richly to our needs, but it is so to pass on favor to others in need. In my heart I was not sowing seeds of blessings. I pray for Godly wisdom in difficult situations and not be emotion led. I pray for a renewing of my mind so it does not take so long for me to realize I am off track. I want to live life on a different plane in my thoughts and life than the world has to offer. This song for Worship Wed. means so much to me. I got to sing it this summer at church and it is so my prayer today.
