Renewing the Mind

Prodigal: That is a lot of pieces of fabric.

Me: That reminds me of saying worth repeating. I would rather be in a million pieces at His feet than a million miles from His presence.

This is from the book The Power of a Woman’s Words by Sharon Jaynes

First, a thought bursts forth from the stall called the brain. It runs across the mind headed for the door called the mouth. In a split second we must determine if that thought is of God or if it is against the knowledge of God. If we determine that the words are not of God, then we lasso the thought and it never makes its way out of the gate. If it passes the God test, we allow it to go free.

What is the lasso? It is the Word of God–the Word of Truth.

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9
