Reprogram Your Mind
Author: Bob Shafer
Today’s Scripture
"Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude]…" (Romans 12:2, AMP).
Many people today don’t realize that the reason they’re not happy, the reason they’re not enjoying life is simply because they’ve trained their minds in the wrong direction. They’ve programmed their minds to worry. They’ve programmed their minds to complain. They’ve programmed their minds to see the negative. But just as we can train our minds to focus on the negative, we can also reprogram our minds to focus on the positive. It all depends on what we meditate on.
When we meditate on the Word of God, we reprogram our minds. When we meditate on God’s goodness, we are developing a right mindset. When we choose to be grateful and focus on what’s right rather than what’s wrong, we are choosing a positive attitude. This doesn’t happen automatically; you have to discipline yourself to focus on the right things. You have to make a conscious effort to spend time in the Word of God every single day until a habit is formed.
As you honor God with your time, He’ll multiply it back to you. As you stay faithful and focused on Him, He will direct your steps and lead you to embrace the blessing and victory He has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Father God, I love You and praise You. Today I surrender my thoughts and mind to You. Help me retrain my thoughts so that they are in line with Your will for my life. I choose to have a positive attitude of faith and expectancy, and I thank You for empowering me to enjoy the good life You have for me in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Wake-Up Thought
This morning, set your mind in the right direction. Don’t meditate on problems; meditate on the promises of God’s Word. Victory starts in your thinking. If you will develop this habit of disciplining your mind to think the right thoughts and meditate on what God says, you will have more peace and more of God’s favor and victory in every area of your life. You will overcome every obstacle and become everything God created you to be.
[Bob Shafer is a friend of mine. When my family needed spiritual help and healing, he came all the way from his home in Kingfisher, OK, to minister to us. Melvine, Greg, Stephanie and I fell in love with this man of God. What a difference was made in our lives as Bob ministered to us with the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit.
