End Of The Matter

M – Mindset matters to reach the desired end:

Do not conform any longer 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

Renewing of the mind is very important, as human beings we fix up something in our mind and we go by that alone and never are willing to change or even think of altering the course of our action. We have such strong mindsets but the bible tells us if we need to do the will of God we need to have a renewing of our mind. Let me share this very clearly with the help of this story that I read some years ago. It was about an old lady who lived in the hills and she was a widow. For her survival she would knit and do some hand crafts and bring them to the plains to sell them. She had a very strange habit of carrying a stick in her hand and tossing the stick when she reaches a junction and then taking the path the stick points to. One day she came to a four road junction and was tossing the stick many number of times and never went ahead, there was a young man who saw this and was disturbed and he asked her if everything was ok with her, to that she replied that she was tossing the stick to find the path that she would go, but eventually the stick did not fall to the direction to which she decided in her mind. This is exactly what a mindset is all about. Dear friends very often we are like that we decide something very strong and then still look for God’s will. Breaking the mindset is giving our ideas totally to God and going by what the bible tells us.

Conclusion:

Now I know you will be nodding your head saying, “yes” I surely have an AIM but I need to check the Attitude, information and the mindset that I hold dearly. I want to conclude on a very positive note by quoting I Corinthians 15:58.

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Our labor in the Lord is never in vain; therefore, let us run with perseverance and achieve the goal that God has for us. God bless you as you AIM to carry on with the scripture in mind, the end of the matter is better than its beginning. Amen.
