Renew Your Mind

“Do not conform 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).”

It is not new news that people all over the world have been impacted by the COVID19 pandemic. And it doesn’t look like it’s going to go away anytime in the near future. People have experienced job loss, financial ruin, homelessness, hopelessness and most significantly a loss of life. But constantly worrying about such things only perpetuates a sense of dread.

There have been times and there will be times when we will have to adjust our lives in order to adapt to what’s going on around us. How do we do this? With our mind. The book of Romans encourages us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. What that means is that anything is achievable if you use the power inherent within you. The mind can influence success or failure, happiness or unhappiness, can help you overcome obstacles and present opportunities but it’s up to you to activate that power. Your thoughts influence your action, how you feel and ultimately what you will do so set your thoughts on the power and influence of God. We're going to get through this.
