HOW YOU THINK MAKES THE DAY
"able to do exceeding above all we ask or think" Eph3:20

In the renowned novel "GONE WITH THE WIND", will makes a statement atMr. O'Hara's funeral. He says, "everybody's mainspring is different. And I want to say this---folks whose mainsprings are busted are better off dead". Society today produces stretched, twisted, overworked, and broken mainspring lives.

 

In view of this, there is a need for a strong inner resource that will provide us with assistance for courage's Christian living. How can we (living in a turbulent world), handle our personal storms with courage of heart and faith in God? I think the key can be found in transformed thinking. The
Bible tells us that "as a person thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7)

Paul, the great Apostle, tells us to "be renewed in the spirit of your mind" (Ephesians 4:23).; "have the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16), and have "a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). These verses seem to reveal  l that in
comping with the pressures of life we are to have transformed thinking in reality, the power of transformed thinking is found in the degree of meaning it brings to our lives.

​

When Paul tells us "be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2), he is saying that we are to fulfill the will of God. The Bible tells us that this is where the essential meaning
of life is found in the "good and acceptable and perfect will of God" (Romans 12:2).

 

When we talk about the will of God it is not simply with regard to careers, vocations, and relationships. The will of God is for us to strived to be like Christ and to live by the mind of Christ. What the mind of Christ is, then is an attitude. We are what our attitude makes us emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Attitudes are formed by our decision to accept or reject certain individuals, groups, ideas, values, concepts, and social institutions.

​

Attitudes literally involves the way we look at life in all of its complexity and variety. Transformed thinking will produce the result of keeping our head, our hearts, and our hopes. Adverse thought reposes and reaction can be
defeated and overcome as we program our thought life with the mind of Christ. Does your life "mainspring" need help???  --- TRY A TRANSFOR ME!!!
