MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2010 THE RESTORER'S WATER: MENTAL/INTELLECTGod said, "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water" (Jeremiah 2:13). A mental cistern compartmentalizes God from our minds. We seek knowledge for knowledge's sake apart from God, so we can make decisions apart from Him.
Thoughts become a very safe place for a Christian to sin, to lust for someone who is not our spouse or to desire a life we do not have. These will eventually affect our words and our steps. Consequently, we must release the Holy Spirit in our thoughts. Paul offered a solution to mental cisterns: "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5).
Is your mind thirsty for God? Drink from the flow of the Living Water and memorize 2 Corinthians 10:5 today.  |
