What Cha' Thinking About?

My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘We must learn to express this new life within us, which comes by forming the mind of Christ (see Philippians 2:5). […] The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh.’ CHAMBERS
 
Having the mind of Christ.  Seeing the world the way He does.  Responding to the world the way He did.  Relating to the Father the way He is. Romans 8:29 says “For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son”  God intends for us to be like Jesus.  The only way we can be like to Jesus is to know Jesus … to think that way He thinks … to want what He wants … and that was to do the will of the Father.  Romans 12:1,2 says that we should not, any longer, be conformed to this world .. but be transformed by the renewing on our minds … to think like Jesus .. to have the mind of Christ.  I can tell you, the worldly part of you does not want to make room for that.  You have to crowd the world out by filling your thoughts with those things that honor God .. with His word ….
 
Philippians 4:6-9 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.”
 
So there you have it!
