Change the Way you Think
WEEK 9 (April 26 – May 2, 2021)
Absorb the Truth of God’s Word
By Hope McCardy & Rashad McCardy
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
– Psalm 119:105
Traveling from place to place to new sites would be a nightmare if we did not have a roadmap or a GPS. We can set the GPS to navigate where we are currently to the spot where we would like to end up. The system is set to lead us there (most of the time). The GPS fills us in on all the in-between highways, streets, avenues, and so on. Eventually, true to form, if we diligently follow it, we will arrive securely at our destination.
The Word of God is a kind of GPS for our daily life (except it is NEVER wrong). When we elect to follow It diligently, It leads us to where God wants us to go, or how we should think, or what we are to say or do.
We thank God for providing us with His Word to guide us in this ever-changing world. A world where values are tossed around like the waves of the sea, going from one place to another…, a world with little proper direction.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. – Romans 12:2
My Prayer
(Pray for your husband and children as well)
Abba Father, thank You for Your Word and the blueprint it provides for my life. Thank You for loving me so much that You desired to give It to me to light my darkened path and show me which way to go. Please motivate and constantly move me to hide It in my heart – to meditate in It – to apply It to my daily life. I truly appreciate this awesome roadmap You’ve given me. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Memo to Self
Make the Word of God your foundation for life. Absorb Its Truth.
Changing the Way you Think
- My Old Way of Thinking
Can I really trust the Bible to give me on-point guiding light to my path? Perhaps I should just follow the world’s ever-changing “GPS.” It will get me to where I need to go, won’t it? - My New Way of Thinking
Teach them your word, which is truth. – John 17:17b
The Bible’s “GPS” is always reliable and consistent.
