*THINKING GOD’S THOUGHTS*
_(Access the Mind of Christ)_
*TO THE BIBLE:*
*1 Corinthians 2:16*
_“For ‘who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.”_
*LET’S TALK*
When you were born again, you became a new creation and a partaker of God’s divine nature with His genetic code. That immediately made it possible for you to know God’s mind and access His thoughts. No wonder the Contemporary English Version of the opening scripture says, *“we understand what Christ is thinking.”* That’s because, as Christians, we have the mind of Christ. The realities of God’s Kingdom are no longer a mystery to us since we’ve been brought into God’s class of being; we can now function and reason like Him.
Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Colossians 3:16). As you learn God’s Word and store it in your heart, it influences the character of your thoughts! You become conditioned to thinking God’s thoughts. Meanwhile, to some, God is a mysterious and unpredictable personality whose ways are past finding out. Such folks love to quote the words of the Prophet Isaiah: *“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,’ says the Lord. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts’”* (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Some teens read that and quietly think, *“Then what’s the point of trying to understand God?”* But that scripture addressed the Old Testament folks who weren’t born again. Today, in the New Testament, the Bible declares that we have the mind of Christ; that means His ways have become our ways, and His thoughts have become our thoughts. Hallelujah! So, get acquainted with the Lord through His Word. The more you know Him, the more His nature and thoughts are revealed to you. Praise God!
*GO DEEPER*
*Luke 8:10* And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
*Romans 12:2* And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
*PRAY*
_Dear Father, thank you for sanctifying my mind to think like you. Thank you for making it possible for me to reason at your high level of wisdom, where I have a perfect understanding of all things. Thank you for unveiling to me the mysteries of your eternal Kingdom and granting me insight into your ways, irrespective of my age, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
*DAILY BIBLE READING*
*ONE YEAR*
Hebrews 5:11-6:1-20, Jeremiah 9-10
*TWO YEAR*
John 10:11-21, 1 Chronicles 6
*ACT*
Pause in challenging moments and ask, *“What does God’s Word say?”* Train your mind to think in line with God’s truth consistently; speak in alignment with God’s truth and you’ll experience victory always.
