Renewing Our Minds
A journey of spiritual transformation
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose sight of what truly matters. We find ourselves tangled in negative thoughts, old habits, and unhealthy patterns of living. But as believers, we are called to a different way of life—a life transformed by the renewing of our minds.
Romans 12:1 reminds us of our continuous offering to God: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." This verse sets the stage for understanding that our worship of God isn't confined to a church service or a specific time of day—it encompasses every moment of our lives. It's about presenting ourselves, with all our flaws and imperfections, to God, trusting that He will mold and shape us according to His will.
What Does 'Renewing of the Mind' Mean?
Romans 12:2 further elaborates: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." This transformation begins with our minds. It's about shifting our perspective away from worldly influences—our own experiences, wounds, traumas, and the opinions of others—and instead aligning our thoughts with God's truth as revealed in His Word and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Renewing our minds involves a deliberate effort to identify and replace unhealthy thought patterns with God's truth. It's a journey of spiritual growth and maturity, where we actively participate in the renewal process empowered by God's grace.

- Take inventory of your priorities. Identify areas where worldly influences have taken precedence over God's will, and realign your focus accordingly.
- Restore Your Body: Prioritize self-care through adequate rest, regular exercise, healthy eating habits, and intentional relaxation. Treat your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19).
- Renew Your Mind and Spirit: Cultivate moments of reflection, meditation on Scripture, and intentional reading of spiritually enriching material. Allow these practices to nourish your mind and strengthen your spirit.
In conclusion, the journey of renewing our minds is a transformative process that requires our active participation and God's divine intervention. As we surrender our thoughts and lives to Him, He promises to guide us, renewing us day by day. Let us embrace this journey with faith and perseverance, trusting that God will indeed "blaze a new trail in our minds" (adapted from prayer).
May this journey of renewal lead us closer to God's perfect will for our lives, where we find true joy, peace, and fulfillment in Him alone.
from me to you
This weeks blog was inspired by a new beginning happening in me and Harley’s life. We are in the midst of a huge transition for the both us. It has definitely sparked a renewal of my mind, a fresh perspective. You know when you think you have an attachment to all your stuff and then you move and you don’t even want it? Like it’s not good enough to make it to the next place. The couch is too dirty or too old. The lamp you’ve been meaning to replace is finally disposed of and you get the new one that matches you just a little bit more. You decide you’re finally going to buy that new set of pots and pan's. It’s not just a new home it’s a new person going to live in that new home. New goals in mind new routines made.
All I’m saying is, it’s time for a new couch!
