Faith is not merely an emotional response to truth; it is enabled by a divinely orchestrated combination of God’s Word, His enlightening Spirit and the submissive response of the believer. The mind, however, is an integral part of faith and is essential to good judgment, obedience and creativity. But since I only “know in part”, every thought must be brought under the guidance, cleansing and dominion of the One who knows everything. In Ephesians Paul warns: “You should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind.” Right! Father, may my thoughts only be those which reflect Your will. Help me keep my mind set on the right things, guided and empowered by Your Word and Spirit.
