His Mind, Not Yours

"For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." (1 Corinthians 2: 16)

I am not interested any more in my thoughts on any matter.

Let us rather be interested in what God thinks of us. Let us be mindful of what Jesus has done for us.

I was so caught up on thinking that I had to know what was going on from day to day.

We are not called to figure everything out.

We are not called to have the world mapped out, or our days figured out.

Why would we? He has all our times in His hands.

So, we now understand what faith is really all about. It's about seeing Him who has been from the beginning.

It's not about us, not what is on our minds. It's about Him, and He has nothing but good things in mind for us.

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."" (Jeremiah 29: 11)

Now, God spoke these words through His prophet Jeremiah after the Israelites had rejected His grace and relied on the sacrifices of other gods. Today, we have the blood of Jesus, and all the promises which accompany His perfect sacrifices.

We do not have to mind what we are thinking. We can rest in the mind of Christ, and know that He is teaching us all things, and taking care of all things for us.
