The Christian Mind

I thank the Lord for thinks like blue tooth ear buds. I was able yesterday to keep my phone in my pocket, ear bud in one ear, and listen to half a conference on the Christian mind; all the while working on HVAC equipment and getting paid for it. I am not always able to listen while I work, but I do have, most mornings and hour commute where I can fill my mind with the preaching of God's Word.

--  listen to   -- This is a link to the conference I listened to. It was the 2012 National Conference of Ligonier Ministries: The Christian Mind. I highly recommend it for all.

I turned in my Bible this morning to Psalm 7:9, Psalm 26:2, Isaiah 26:3, Romans 8:5, and 1 Corinthians 2:15-16. Putting those verses together I learned that God tests the mind of man. I learned that David (who was a righteous man) asked God to test his heart and mind. We can conclude that it is good for us to ask God to do things that his word already tells us that he does. We can also conclude that a righteous man will want God to test his mind. Gulp.

I learned that the man who has his mind stayed on God will have perfect peace.  I also learned that the spiritual man judges all things. He is himself rightly judged by no one, but none the less, he judges (or discerns) all things.

May we know the perfect peace that comes through keeping our minds stayed on the Lord, who gave to us our minds.
