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 (NIV)

I notice in my personal experience that when my thoughts are “cloudy” or not focused it stems from “overload” of worldly contents. In other words all of the goings on in the world that are “going on.”

Let me get to that plainly.  When I get an “overload” of evil images on the news, or horrific breaking news stories that pour into my line of vision and hearing, I get a vibe, and my thoughts become crowded with such deeds/actions.

What do I do? What works for me?  I open the Bible, and start downloading the Word and fill my senses, heart mind and soul with scripture, and I feel the “veil of doubt and obscurity” fall away opening my mind to clarity and peace.

God’s Word and His Spirit is my “go to” for all aspects of my life, and most particularly when my mind is being filled with the “world.”

Some people do different things to bring a vision of peace. Some go for their morning runs, some exercise at gyms, and both are great!  However, for me, exercising my spirit in His soothing Word is balm to my soul and the remedy for peace of mind.  That is the best exercise I could ever do for my whole being.

Want peace and strength and wisdom?  Seek God daily and open to His ways, His Word, and His love, and you will be overflowing with all these things and more!

“LORD, thank You for Your love, Your Word, and Your guidance in all I do, see and say, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Romans 12:2 (KJV)
