Romans 12:2
2 "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."
2 Corinthians 4:16
16 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day."
Notes taken from "Life Is In the Blood" by Larry Ollison.
"While our spirit is headed in the right direction, we still have a battle going on in our minds over the bad thoughts that still want to live there. We must daily renew the mind through the washing of the Word.
"If we don’t renew our minds, we will continue to think like the world, which is inspired by what the devil thinks. God renews our spirit with the Blood. The LORD gave Moses a law concerning the animals they ate which explains the importance of the blood.”
There is a plan that is being made for your life right now, and it will sustain you through trials and obstacles that are standing in your way. I was talking to a friend a few days ago and saw that the Word of God and the Word of flesh were in conflict with one another. Listen, the Word of God always trumps the thoughts of man.
I’m confident that He who begun a good work in us is faithful to complete it.
Thank You, Father, for encouraging us in Your Word today. I pray for Your strength that lifts us up out of the pit and sets our feet on solid ground. We won’t lose heart but we will continue look toward You and follow You. In Jesus's name, Amen.
Blessings on the journey, and remember that the best is yet to come.
