It is always good to be reminded of who we are in Christ, especially when we find ourselves living in a world filled with chaos and confusion. Over the next 26 days I will be sharing the devotions from my book, “In Christ Alone”. Each devotion is designed to help us look to Christ for our identity in the midst of a myriad of sources trying to define who we are.
Here is day seven with an important reminder that in Christ you, and those around you, can have the mind of Christ to fill you with His wisdom.
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.“
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV)
What is the most that you have ever paid for something? How does the price paid for something affect the way you treat it? How do you feel when someone else mistreats an item that you have purchased at a great cost? What rights do you feel you have as a purchaser? How do you want your items treated that others borrow from you?
Most individuals and families that I know have at least one item of personal property that seems to be sacred to them. Do what you want to anything else and while there may be disappointment and sorrow, it is nothing compared to the heartache when that one item is damaged or destroyed. That is the level of extreme value we have to God as we were bought with the incredible price of the blood of His Son, Jesus! As you pray, ask God to help you to always remember the price He paid for you. Pray that you would live in a way that honors the price Jesus has paid for you. Pray that you would share with others the value that God places on their life by His willingness to pay such a great price.

Here is day six with an important reminder that in Christ you, and those around you, can have the mind of Christ to fill you with His wisdom.
“‘For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.“
1 Corinthians 2:16 (NIV)
Have you ever wished that you could crawl into the mind of someone so you could have a better understanding of how they think and who they are? Are you of the same mind with someone else to the extent that you can accurately finish sentences and thoughts of each other? Do you ever act like you know more than God? Does your life say that even if your words never would? What qualities should be most obvious in your life because you have the mind of Christ?
When we are in Christ, we should become so much like Christ that it is obvious that we have the mind of Christ! Our thoughts and words should be the same as we would expect from Christ. As you pray, ask God to fill you with a humility that allows you to be emptied of self and filled with the mind of Christ. Pray that your very thoughts, which determine your actions, would reflect the mind of Christ. Pray that your decisions would be based on what comes from the mind of Christ rather than from yourself. Pray that the people around you would see the mind of Christ in you.

Here is day five with an important reminder that in Christ you, and those around you, can have the Spirit of God to guide each aspect of life.
“We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.“
1 Corinthians 2:12 (NIV)
Do you struggle to understand the things of God and His Word? Do you ever wish there was someone always available to help you understand the gifting of God in your life? Do you have times when you feel lost in the ways of the world? How can you change when the ways of the world seem more natural to you than the ways of God? How often do you hear God’s still small voice nudging you into the way you ought to go? More importantly, how often do you listen to that voice?
Most of us are bombarded daily with competing voices clamoring for us to do their will. We often struggle with clearly distinguishing God’s voice from the voice of the enemy, and even from our own voice. As you pray today, ask God to make you more aware of His Spirit that lives within you. Pray that your life would be lived differently from those of the world because you have the Spirit of Christ in you. Pray for the eyes to see and ears to hear the things the Spirit says to you each day. Pray that the people around you would see the Spirit of God living in you.
In prayer,
Tom
This is the audio from the June 7, 2020 sermon, “When You Don’t Know What To Do: FIX Your Mind”, shared by Tom Lemler at the North Wayne Mennonite Church.
Text: 2 Chronicles 20:1-19
What do you do when you look around and you just don’t know what to do? When the struggles of life seem overwhelming and the opposition just too large? When the problems have no logical solution, it is time to fix your mind on things above rather than on the things of this earth.
So, let’s take a look at what we need to FIX when we don’t know what to do:
When you FIX your mind on things above, it should change the way you do life here on earth!
In prayer,
Tom
