Struggles

23 April 2012                                              

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Part of life’s struggle is made up with the struggle in our minds, it is when we know what we should do, yet struggle to do it that we run the risk of doing the wrong things. This struggle is also based on passed learnt behaviour which in a way controls our thinking and so controls our belief systems. When in the struggle we believe we cannot do it, then this will actually prevent us from doing it.

In order to change the way we think we need to process in our minds what we believe. What we believe about life, about ourselves in relation to our life, and starting to understand the truth of what we believe. Though we may enjoy the fat on our biltong, we know that this is unhealthy, so we eat biltong without the fat, we know that when we cannot say no, we are hooked into an unhealthy lifestyle.

In order to win the battle of the mind, we need to renew our mind, ignoring the old and only using that which is renewed. Once I did things that way, but now I do things this way, because I have changed the way I think and so my goals change accordingly.

Be encouraged today to stop dwelling on the struggle but to change your thinking.

David

Point to ponder: What you think determines what you believe.

Question to consider: This time next year will you be facing the same struggle?
