Scripture Reading: Philippians 2:5 (KJV)
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:”
Devotional
The Christian life begins with a changed heart, but it must also continue with a renewed mind. Paul calls believers to take on the mind of Christ. That means we do not simply think the way the world thinks, react the way the world reacts, or live for what the world values.
To “lose your mind” in the right way is to surrender your old way of thinking and receive the attitude of Jesus. His mind was humble, obedient, loving, and focused on the Father’s will. Every day, we must choose whether we will live by our own feelings, our circumstances, the pressure of others, or the mind of Christ.
Your attitude is not an accident. It is a decision. Today, choose the mind of Christ.
Reflection
What thought patterns in your life need to be surrendered to Jesus?
Prayer
Lord, help me to have the mind of Christ. Change the way I think, respond, speak, and live. Remove selfishness, pride, bitterness, and fear from my heart. Teach me to see life through Your truth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Action
Before reacting to anything difficult today, pause and ask, “Is this the mind of Christ?” Then respond in a way that honors Him.
