Brain games


 


Read: Romans 12:1-8


Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind.-Romans 12:2


 

 

A saying among scientists who study the human brain is, "Use it before you
lose it."  We have the power to help keep our brain fit in working well.
Dr. Lawrence Katz, a neurologist at Duke University, urges people to perform
daily mental exercises such as brushing your teeth with the non-dominant
hand or taking a new route to work to help stimulate the brain and keep it
healthy the goal is to replace unthinking routine with fresh awareness and
new focus.

 

 There is the lesson here for us as followers of Jesus Christ.  Even the
most valuable spiritual disciplines all Bible reading and prayer can become
so habitual that our minds are not fully engaged

 

To avoid slipping into a spiritual rut, why not add Scripture memory to your
daily devotional time?  It's a mental effort designed to produce spiritual
change.  It's almost wrote, "Your word I had hidden in my heart, that I
might not sin against You" (Psalm 119:11).  Paul said, "Do not be conformed
to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may
prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God" (Romans
12:2).

 

It is more than a brain game to memorize and meditate on the powerful Word
of God.-Dave McCasland

 

We must read scripture every day

and meditate on what God said

to fight temptation from the world

and live a life that's spirit-led. - Sper

 


Thought for the day: let God's Word fill your memory rule your heart, and
guide your feet.
