More Thoughts on the Irrational Mind

Where does one begin with the mind, an endless ocean of thoughts?

For those of you who have asked, I am still trying to figure all of that out myself. And honestly, I have a long way to go. This morning I found some guidance in Proverbs 2:1-11


1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, 2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, 3 and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. 7 He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, 8 for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. 9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair--every good path. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.11 Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.

To my friends, and the scores of unknown readers, the verses abovenare so much easier said than done. I think transformation begins in the seeking. I am sorry that I struggle to keep my thoughts rational and for some of you, that you get the brunt of that. But for all of you, consider the area of your mind that God perhaps might be trying to transform. It might not be easy and will more than likely hurt, but it will be worth it.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
 Romans 12:2
