“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
–Mark 12:30
The other day, for some reason, I just decided I was going to think back on the days of my childhood. So I began to think as far back as I could. I asked myself, “What’s the first thing I remember?” And I was amazed at what’s still in my mind from my childhood—things that weren’t in my conscious mind, but I was able to pull up as I thought.
Isn’t it interesting when we think like that how the other senses get into the action? I could almost smell the chalk line on my little league ball field and the snow cones at the concession stand. And as I closed my eyes, I could picture in my mind how things looked. And my ears remember how things sounded.
Many times there are things in our mind that we don’t even realize are there. And because the mind is so powerful, we must not separate God and His Word from that powerful tool.
God doesn’t just want your heart, your soul, or your strength. He wants all of you, including your mind. So worship God with your mind by reading His Word and meditating on His wonderful works!
GOD WANTS YOU TO LOVE HIM WITH YOUR ENTIRE BEING, INCLUDING YOUR MIND. SO WORSHIP HIM BY GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WORD!
