“Test me, Lord, and
try me,
examine my heart and my mind;”
Psalm 26:2
“My minds made up
My heart is fixed
I’m going with Jesus
all the way
Well my minds made up
and my heart is fixed
And I’m going with
Jesus all the way!”
So goes a chorus from
years ago.
The statement it
makes is certainly still relevant today.
So, is your mind made
up?
Is your heart fixed?
But wait just a
minute…how many times in a week – no let’s make that in an hour – do you change
your mind?
Be honest now.
We all make decisions
only to change our mind and change our decisions.
So a more apt
question might be:
Why do you change
your mind?
A few years back
there were those plastic bracelets with the abbreviation
WWJD
which stood for “What
Would
Jesus
Do”
I know they became so
common as to almost become cliché but wouldn’t it be great if all of our
motivations in changing our mind was in response to that question filtering our
thoughts?
My mind will dwell on
whatever I feed it.
It doesn’t push back
if all my thoughts are negative and it doesn’t push back if all my thoughts are
positive.
It simply feeds on what
I give it.
So how about a filter
for my thoughts:
“What would Jesus do?”
Or perhaps more accurately:
What would Jesus
think about?”
Think about it!
