Mind: November 14, 2016

TODAY’S WORD FOR MONDAY NOVEMBER 14, 2016.
MIND
DEFINITION:

The part of a human that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives and judges. Intellect or understanding.
SCRIPTURE:

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. Mark 12:30.


KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:

God invites us to use our minds. In Isaiah 1:18 it is written, “Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord.” Christ touches every area of our lives. When He touches our minds we are transformed by the renewing of our minds.

We are told in the scripture not to be like a senseless horse or a mule, “which have no understanding” (Psalm 32:9). Mules and horses must be led by bits and bridles. They have no understanding. God has given us a mind with which to reason and to gain understanding. It is with our mind that we understand who God is. God wants us to love Him not just with our minds but with all that we are.

When Jesus was asked what was the greatest commandment He replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37

Love is an emotion and comes from the heart. Christianity is falling in love with Christ. Have you ever fallen in love without emotion?

Our emotions, however, can vary widely from day to day. The words of Mark 12:30 reads, “all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength” depicts the completeness of the love we are to have for our Lord and our God. Complete love for the Lord will change us. Paul tells us in Romans 12:2, “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind”, Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is --- His good, pleasing and perfect will.

The renewal of the mind is the work of the Holy Spirit. The working of the Holy Spirit in our lives is the result of our faithful and sincere study of God’s Word.

You shall love the Lord with all your heart, your mind, your soul, your mind and your strength is expressed as a commandment and it means we are to love the Lord with our entire being.

There are three principal things that make up our being and flow from our heart.

The power of feeling and desire is our Soul.

Energy and power is our strength.

Understanding and wisdom is our mind.

Our love for the Lord proceeds from our heart and manifests without through our soul, might and mind.


LEARNING:

Our memory verse for this week is found in Philippians 1:29.

For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.

PRAYER:

May my love for You emanate through my whole being. Renew my mind through the study and meditation on Your Holy Word.
