Starvation of the mind, caused by neglect, is one of the chief sources of exhaustion and weakness in a servant\u2019s life. If you have never used your mind to place yourself before God, begin to do it now. There is no reason to wait for God to come to you. You must turn your thoughts and your eyes away from the face of idols and look to Him and be saved (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Isaiah+45:22\">Isaiah 45:22<\/a>).Your mind is the greatest gift God has given you and it ought to be devoted entirely to Him. You should seek to be \u201cbringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ . . .\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=2+Corinthians+10:5\">2 Corinthians 10:5<\/a>). This will be one of the greatest assets of your faith when a time of trial comes, because then your faith and the Spirit of God will work together. When you have thoughts and ideas that are worthy of credit to God, learn to compare and associate them with all that happens in nature-the rising and the setting of the sun, the shining of the moon and the stars, and the changing of the seasons. You will begin to see that your thoughts are from God as well, and your mind will no longer be at the mercy of your impulsive thinking, but will always be used in service to God.\u201cWe have sinned with our fathers . . . [and] . . . did not remember . . .\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm+106:6-7\">Psalm 106:6-7<\/a>). Then prod your memory and wake up immediately. Don\u2019t say to yourself, \u201cBut God is not talking to me right now.\u201d He ought to be. Remember whose you are and whom you serve. Encourage yourself to remember, and your affection for God will increase tenfold. Your mind will no longer be starved, but will be quick and enthusiastic, and your hope will be inexpressibly bright.<\/div>\n<div>_____________________________________________________<\/div>\n<p>February 11, 2011<\/p>\n<p>Journal Entry for Today-JDV<\/p>\n<p>Lord, this lesson reminds me of the time You\u00a0were teaching me\u00a0me about seeing You in everything I experience,\u00a0see and hear. I looked for You inside of nature and every circumstance, event and song; even rock and roll songs. I remember listening to rock and roll and interpreting the song differently because it was filtered by my mind that was viewing everything inside of the concept of Your Lordship.<\/p>\n<p><em>And God says\u2026\u201dWhen you seek me, you will find me. When you expect to be connected you are connected with and to Me. Continue to see the world through that context and you will experience the peace that passes all understanding. You will be at peace even when surrounded by chaos, knowing that I am God and all that you experience must first pass through My hands.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You \u2014Isaiah 26:3 .
