Hebrews 5:11-14
In a world filled with endless sources of information and opinions, Christians need to develop a discerning spirit. Otherwise, how will we know what is true?
The only way believers can guard against deception is by becoming grounded in God’s Word. The more time we spend filling our mind with the Lord’s thoughts, the more discerning we will be. However, just knowing biblical truth isn’t enough. We must put what we learn into practice so it becomes more than head knowledge.
The goal is to let God’s Word become such an integral part of our thinking that it guides our decisions. Even if the situation we’re facing isn’t specifically addressed in the Bible, scriptural principles provide the needed wisdom for every choice. And we don’t have to figure it out alone. The Holy Spirit is given to every believer; He is a Helper who guides us into truth (John 14:26; John 16:13). But for that to be effective, we have the responsibility of storing Scripture through memorization so God’s Spirit can bring it to our remembrance.
What are you allowing into your mind? Is the Word high on your list of priorities? If not, ask the Lord to give you a renewed passion for Him and His amazing revelations.
