And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. -Romans 12:2


It’s amazing how quickly someone can change their mind. The change can be due to a one time horrible experience, circumstances, maturity, health, personal and many other reasons people change their minds. 


But what I’ve noted is that nothing can be as sudden and sometimes unpredictable as a changed mind. 


A changed mind changes just as quickly your ultimate place in eternity. Though somethings in life, dare I say most things take time to steer in a way that may be 180 degrees in the opposite direction. 


Your mind change begins the change, but it may take a while for your circumstances to align with the changed mind. 


Say someone decides to quit smoking, their mind has changed but the habit hasn’t opened it’s mail and therefore doesn’t know. The habit may rebel, asking for a recount of the vote and protest, but when the mind is truly changed eventually the habit resigns or reforms. 


So true change begins with a made up mind. A resolve that even if you stumble or outright fall off the horse, you will get back on, tighten the saddle and keep riding. 


Proverbs 24:16 says a righteous man falls seven times but what makes them justified is they get back up, back in line and the tenacity to believe that their cry for grace and forgiveness has been heard and granted. 


I encourage you to first change your mind and if it has been changed get back up and keep pushing.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
