How To Change The Way You See The World

My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘The Spirit [..] is put into me by way of the atonement by the Cross of Christ. I then have to build my thinking patiently to bring it into perfect harmony with my Lord. God will not make me think like Jesus— I have to do it myself. I have to bring “every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). “Abide in Me”— in intellectual matters, in money matters, in every one of the matters that make human life what it is. Our lives are not made up of only one neatly confined area.’ CHAMBERS
 
Ephesians 1:13-14 “When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.”
 
We have the Spirit in us to enable us spiritually and to teach us how to live our new life in Christ.  Paul said in Romans 12:2 that we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds … the Spirit plays a vital part in that transformation.  Are you watching the events in this world and wondering what on earth is going on? I pray that God will open your eyes like Elisha’s servant (2 Kings 6:13-17) That you will see world events in the same context that the Lord does.  Remember .. God is sovereign .. no matter what men may do or scheme to do.  You may face a great trial in your life … you may be rejected because you choose to believe the Bible and not the mandates of your culture … Having a spiritual perspective on life changes the way you respond to life and its events.  So keep your eyes on Jesus … look full on His wonderful face .. and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.  And remember Christian  . .this earth is not our home, we are just passing through.
