Keep in mind

Never underestimate the power of your mind.

If your brain worked like a digital video recorder in a television, 2.5 petabytes would be enough to hold three million hours of TV shows. You would have to leave the TV running continuously for more than 300 years to use up all that storage.

With everything that the human race has achieved up to now it is said that the brightest students has only begun to utilize 8% (or less?)of their brains.

It would be fitting then that God commands us in his word to renew our minds, as our maker  he should know the importance of renewing our mind.

As humans,  we pride ourselves in our cognitive ability and our cognitive ability sometimes is our greatest downfall.

Many books have been written on the subject - but a reminder will do no harm.

The Bible says we have the mind of Christ and then it also says to 'have' the mind of Christ.

We must realize one thing - when we are born-again our Spirits is complete and whole -, but our minds still need to catch up with our spirits. This is part of us that is connected to our bodies and our human nature. And according to Paul this human nature must be subdued. We have died with Christ and have been resurrected with Him, but our minds are not  perfect.

What can I do then?

Programme the mind with new software. Read the Bible.

Ask and trust God to bring change in you.

Ask someone to hold you accountable.

And PRAY.

These suggestions may seem  elementary, but they are powerful.
