Transform; Renew
I finished my drawing! “Renew Your Mind”
Driven
Worth
Busy
Control
Apparently when talking to a friend, I used these words most often.
I’m seeing a theme!
This summer, it’s time to “settle my brain” and get back to the basics. This means, my bible, my journal, and THE BIG GUY. (Well, and my little guy, Coti)
She recommended I draw through my journal. I found this image and it struck me as symbolic of how I’d like my mind to be; full of seeds, buds, blossoms, and fully bloomed flowers. This all takes TIME and germination.
Here are the verses I’m focusing on:
Proverbs 29:11
A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards
Proverbs 16:3
Commit your works unto the Lord and your thoughts will be established.
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.
Mark 12:30
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment.
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.
Romans 12:16
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
II Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Philippians 2:4-6
4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Philippians 4:6-8
Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God
And the peace of God which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
I Peter 1:13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
II Peter 3:1b-2
1b Stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2. That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour.
James 1:8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
