DAY 10 - We are now into Day 10 of our 21 days to knowing that we have the mind of Christ. This series is based on the truth of what Paul declared in 1 Cor. 2:16, "But we have the mind of Christ." Did you know that you can have a more Christlike mind than you do right now? Disraeli said, "Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think." But just thinking great thoughts is not enough. We must have the very mind of Christ.

We must start thinking about everything in a new way. Here is what Paul told the Christians living in Rome. "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect" (Rom. 12:2 NASB). The Message reads, "Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out." So there it is again - focusing on God.  When you are in tune with God, He will tune up your mind and your living. It can't help but happen. The New Living Translations says, "...let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." God helps those who cooperate with Him! He is saying to you, "Work with Me! Work with Me on this matter of thinking right." And when you start thinking right, you will start acting right. Right? Right!

Prayer/Hymn: "Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart - it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.
(Frances Ridley Havergal)
